I know how lucky I am thqt my father wrote down his memories for me (he would have loved blogging!). <br /><br />To Barbara & Nancy - yes, a member of the historical society e-mailed me a copy of the football team photograph which may well have come from a newspaper. I also was sent a photograph of the street where the family lived and portraits of the two vicars that my father must have known as a member of the church choir - all material for future blog posts. <br />ScotSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01412874349376253984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-91634163776333407672012-09-30T07:58:03.952+01:002012-09-30T07:58:03.952+01:00I would have sulked for months as well.
