Great Days And Fond Memories

It was with great warmth that I read the memory about the O'Dells at the Cross Keys Pub. I too spent some great times with young Cliff at the family garage and at the X Keys. My mother also worked for many years with Mrs O'Dell in the little factory in Crown Street next to the bank. It was indeed a great time to be around as school children and teens in Dagenham, we really did have it all. Fond memories. By the way, I lived in Reede Road and how I managed that railway footbridge some nights to this day still amazes me. But you knew you were safe. Ron H.
