Do we know where Nan is now? I know they moved to North Altona; I remember Marion McLean and I visiting her a few times.

Nan Bryden moved to Altona with her parents, they never owned only rented, units flats etc, she got married to a really big guy who worked at the meatworks, they never had any children between the two of them, I had such a huge falling out with Nan that I didnt every want to hear anything about her, mum said she had changed and I should give her a chance, but she gave me such a beating because her boyfriend fancied me, I wasnt even that keen on him at the time but he followed me around and I got a pasting for it and it was a real pasting, I was a mess, I was about 16 at the time. I wouldnt know it if I saw her now.

Wow, I can understand why you wouldn't want to see her again. I was always scared of Nora Griffin, lol.

As I said, Marion and I visited the Bryden's a few times, and Nan always seems very nice. Marion and I were very envious of Nan's clothes, she had reall lovely modern stuff while Marion and I were still decked out in stuff from Coles etc. She let us borrow her dresses and for me, some shoes to walk around in and we both thought we were just wonderful, lol. A couple of monthslLater on she gave me a couple of pairs of shoes and some dresses too, so I guess I have fond memories of her.
