Remember them well, also the little brother, they moved to Blyth street Altona, Shona ended up working with me at Tip Top married a nice guy from the other end of town and moved over there, they did well for themselved, Carolyne and I went to her engagement party with our Party and I wont tell you what happened but it was a night to remember. Her sister Sandra bought in the Western Suburbs somewhere. There dad was not a nice man and used to make the boy wash his car every weekend a brand new holden and hardly gave him anything, I was ver frightened of him. I should really know Shona's married name but it was foreign and hard to pronounce so I could never remember it. Anne Shaw might know Sandra's as she used to see her at fun runs etc. I will ask her

I have been trying to get something on this site for a few days since being made aware of the site by Anne Shaw whose brother Richard and I used to play football and cricket with. I see so many names the Brydens Peter being a good friend of mine who I went to Willy Tech with. Our family Mum Edna, Dad Chris, brother Steven and sister Susan. We were on the hostel from 1959 to 1962. and all our family are still around Willy and surrounds. Other families we knew McVeighs, Riddells, Manns, Pattersons, Mcmenamy, Kilgarrifs, Williamsons, McDonalds, and heaps of others I shall mention as time permits later. I hope to attend your reunion but I am not sure any of the other families of our vintage are on this site. Most of you might remember my mum from behind the Race in the canteen where she worked with Elsie Anderson and Sarah Patterson. Great times in school holidays over at the Grandstand at the racecourse
