Hi. My name was Glynis Ross back in those days. My family- Mum Jean , Dad Maurice, me and my 2 sisters Elizabeth and Vivien lived on East Hills Hostel in 1962/63. I was school Captain at Hammondville East Primary but my family left for Brisbane part way through the school year.
I remember the Monica Schofield murder. The song Blue on Blue by Bobby Vinton was out at the time and whenever I hear this song I think of Monica, so sad. She was a little bit older than me.
I remember one of the Easybeats lived on the hostel near my Grandparents hut.
I remember lots of my friends...the Sandersons next door (Keith, Linda , Neil) Billy Guthrie, Rhona Beech,Suzanne McGinty to name a few...I also remember a lovely friend Fiona who moved off the hostel and I used to visit her.
We emigrated from Stockport England and came out on the Castle Felice through the Suez.

Hi Glynis.

I am at my daughter's house at the moment in Kent, England. It was lovely to find you finally. My daughter has found you on this site for me. I remember our friendship very well, which is why I have been looking for you. Then, we saw you mention me so it must be you!!!!

I remember our visits to the creek with our teddies in the pram, and going to the hostel jumble sale for clothes for our teddies and dolls. Happy memories.

Is that Suzanne McGinty?
