Is Kenny Johnston the tall lad next to Patty's right side ?
Added by Keith Dempsey on 25 November 2010
Sorry Stewart, I am at the spelling errors again. I see I made a mess o Patty's name as weel. There john how's that for peedie letters. Now does anybody question the year. I think it may be slightly earlier
Added by FRANCIS HAMILTON on 27 November 2010
Thanks everybody. I'll pass the names on to the former assistant teacher. At our age, memory isn't as good as it was!!
