bellis   10 #63 Posted October 21, 2009 wow, just found this topic by accident, Mr Tankard gave me an LP the day before i left, Sparks . i still have it, I was in the main house, with the triplets, Julie,Irene and Ann also Tony Googe ( excuse spelling ) i remember that 1 bedroom on that landing had a shooting star painted on wall, the main staff i remember, are Kieth & Christine, Collin Bowers . hmm... We are the Todwick kids, we never get any cigs, we lose all our money for swearing at cunny, cause we are the todwick kids, I actually have some good memories there & some not so good, but those where created by me.( personally for me if i had not gone there, i believe i would have been in prison and still serving time, i asked my social worker to get me away from my mother, i was about 10-11yrs old then ) so Todwick staff did some good. i also went back in as a temporary stop as my father who got me out of there, had to go in hospital when i was about 13-14, Todwick was a different place then, did not like it there nor trust anyone, i even walked to see my dad in hospital rather than wait for the snow to clear away some, thats when we had the heavy snow 76-77 The jap woods behind art , assault style course with zip line  mr tankard give me a queen album sheer heart attack i think bonnie got a album by a band called fox:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
