rosenick10 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I moved to the US in 1966 when I was 10 and left behind my schoolmates. We were good pen pals for a while and then lost touch. I remember Pamela Wait and Margaret Ward across the tip (is it still there) I lived on Harcourt Road. I haven't been back but want to give it a try. Would be nice to see old friends. Back then my last name was Nahorniak. Anyone there from the 1955 birthday class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deecee Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I went to Crookesmoor from 1951-1959. The " Tip " is now called "The Ponderosa" and is nothing like you will remember it. I lived on Bromley St. (ran at the side of the tip ) until 1966. I believe the school is now a tertiary college . I don't think you would find many of your old friends around there now. deecee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desy Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I went from1954 to 1961 had a few good times, plenty of good mates tried to contact a few no replies. Think two lads Keith Skelton (he is traveling the world now) and Philip Conway (he did ballroom dancing)lived on Harcourt Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiya Docmel, Philip has a Brother called Geoff and they lived on Barber Road, their Dad was a driver for the national blood transfusion. I think he used to drive the bus around the firms so that the workers could give blood. I don't recal him having a sister though. deecee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
