|

Hello, my name is Kevin Dennis and I stumbled on this site by accident.
I was at the Brooklyn Hostel in the early sixties, can anyone tell me if there is a link/forum etc for people from that hostel.
Thanks in advance
Kevin |

Thats true AussieTrekker, however we remained in Brooklyn for several years, our father was killed in an accident not long after we arrived and they allowed us to stay on until life settled a little, not sure about the exact details cos I was only 5 yo at the time.
I do remember the Kitchen/mess hall burning down though and having to go to Altona for meals for a while: My picture was in a local? or hostel? newspaper as I was helping the fire brigade/ clean up crew with the clean up (and pinching can of sardines I found in the rubble )
Our mother died a few years later so I don't have a point of reference for friends etc. But I do remember someone called Danny Macshane? from the Brooklyn Hostel in case any one knows of him or family.
regards to all.
