Evelyn did u mean that u were Marie's best friend, if so I cant believe my luck, I loved her like a sister, I have photos of her and I blowing bubbles together, Nellie her mother and my mum were best friends, her father was named Ronald, and if I remember rightly her brother just came out of jail. I would appreciate it if u could tell me where she was and if she is ok, I lost sight of her a long time ago when I lived in Plymouth England. Thanku for helping me.  Anne

Memories, Nostalgia & History

History doesn't have to be in black & white

Your memory of a local character or a school photo from the last ten years can be just as interesting as wars and Victorians.
