Hi Fred
A little difficult for me , have so much on at the moment. Would be nice though to hear from some more classmates and to find out how and where they are these days.
I imagine many a Wiganer has gone far and wide in the world.
I left the Wigan nest in November 2000 to live in the USA in the Upper Peninsular of Michigan only a short distance from Lake Superior shoreline.
How many more of the class have flown the nest I wonder, would be interesting to find out
Hi Britboy
I am on a quick dash over to UK.I know I said that I was ready for some rain but .... well really!! Nice to know where you are, but where is everyone else ????
Hi,this is Harriet here in Bridlington where we have lived for 32 years.Doesnt time fly.We moved here from Dundee in Scotland,having lived in bonnie Scotland for 6 years.Can we have an update on the people identified,I remember Jeffrey Broadbent(my 1st date)Jimmy Winstanley his mate who was sweet on a girl called Carole??.Val,Gwen Cox and I were friends until we left the High School.Val and I donot remember Trish but Val was always sweet on John Cramer.
Harriet, lovely to hear from you. I remember Jeff Broadbelt (he insisted it was not Broadbent). We grew up next door to each other and were great mates. I remember he was sweet on you. I am in touch with Dorothy Higham and Tricia in sunny Spain. There is talk of a reunion and I cannot find a better activity for us all. Britboy in the US, I am sure would like to get together again. I have contacted Valerie but no response, also John Cramers wife but again no response. Hopefully all will reply and perhaps next year we can all get together again, somewhere. I am willing to keep a list of all who would like to attend for a great time of reminiscences and do the co-ordination etc, so please everyone interested in a reunion, contact me and I will keep you all posted. DO NOT WIMP OUT.....there , you have been told.
