War Years in Earley

I lived in Clarendon Road until 1954. Does anyone remember the V1 doodlebug that crashed in Whitenights Park, causing a huge crater? In those days we would spend a lot of time in Earley Woods at the back of the allotments at the end of Mays Lane. I went to Wokingham Road primary school and then to Reading Grammar School in 1946. My very first girlfriend was Priscilla Hockey but sadly I lost contact with her and it would be very difficult to trace her now because I assume she married and I wouldn't know her married name. I was married in St Peter's church in 1958. I am 76 years old now and live near Nottingham but have many fond memories of Earley and Reading. It would be nice to hear from anyone that knew me.
