Hi Marlene
Nice to have news of you. I am fine, thank you, as I hope you are. I have just had to make 2 trips home.. I live in S.E. Spain now.. I suppose I should call that home now, but my heart is always in Wigan. I was surprised that you remembered me.. I left Billinge Road in 1965 and only came back briefly before moving out from Wigan.
