Thanks, Isobel. We've managed to fill in a few more names between us. I guess our old brains are still working after all! Long time since we were in this class. Hope you are well.

Second row next to Alison Cooper is Patsy Delday not Sheila Delday (now deceased) she was her older sister.
Added by Brenda Delday now Nason on 10 September 2010
Thanks, Brenda. Of course I should have remembered it was Patsy, not Sheila. Blame it on senile decay!! They lived round the corner from where I was born at #4 George Street and that was a long time ago.

Hi Shirley - guess we are both having a "big" birthday this year!! I'm admitting to 49, don't know about you. LOL Hope you are well. Often wonder about the folks in the class photo' above and where they all might be now. It's been a few years, hasn't it? Best wishes - Freda
