Sounds a nice place to live where you are. Sorry i can't remember you, being a kid you don't bother unless they are the same age as you, i don't remember many people from the hostel, but i do remember my mum was often talking fondly of Joan Rockey. _________________ Eileen Griffin |

Hi Madoc, you don't know me as I was after your time, but this forum is your best shot at contacting old hostel mates. The electoral roll is not accessible online, you physically have to go to a specific location and look things up. There's a group of us who post regularly and sometimes meet up. That's where all the gossip and name-dropping takes place. Keep watching the numerous Altona Hostel threads and photos, especially the FAMILIES I REMEMBER thread. |

Hi madoc, i was speaking to my sister Mary, she was pleased when i told her you'd been on the site. She is wondering if it was you who she stayed with for a while back in 1971 in Wales? our Mary's not got access to the internet so she asked me to ask you. _________________ Eileen Griffin |

To get photos on the site you need to PM Len the administrator and he'll do it for you. FRIENDS REUNITED is a good place to find old friends from school, otherwise you've done what you can on here already by mentioning names of people you're seeking. Now it's a matter of waiting for someone else to look at your posts and put you in touch. It's worked for a lot of Altona people. |
