lynblu Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Robert Beck, how can I forget, lived on next street to me 'Ebury Street'. Robert had an older brother who was Down's syndrome, I think. I used to knock about with another boy on Ebury Street,year older but can't think of his name yet, It'll come. Come on more names. Gary Staniland had Downs, Susan Staniland was his sister. They lived on Ebury Street ........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
