I was in 3b class in that year but once again I was most likely not at school on that day
Heaton in the front row is my uncle Roy. My Mum is Joan twin sister of Pat.
Steve Kelsall. Well I never, Pat and Joan Heaton, I dont think I have seen them since they left St Thomas's junior school. I dont think they would remember me, but may remember my brother and sister Joe and Sylvia Travis.
