Tleaf Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Hey Judith, Steve, Darnex et al, I was saddened to learn of John-taken away so early. I can visualise him with his mop of mousy hair, such a sweet kid. I left school in 72. Richard Kirk, Tony Staniland, Tom, Gary, Lynne Cowley played badminton for the school. I also remember Peter B, Dave Waller. Dave came to school one day with a skinhead-he was missing a lollipop but he still got all the girls lol Hey Steve, I'm not sure if you received my personal email but if for some reason you haven't, Darnex has my contact details so do get in touch. Probably won't recognise each other!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
