Memories of Three Happy Years

I, Bill Rodgers was in the United States Air Force stationed at RAF Wethersfield. My wife Phyllis, son Michael and I lived on the Heath Estates, Great Waldingfield from 1962 to 1965. Michael, age 5 attended the Folly Road Primary School in Great Waldingfield. Our daughter Michelle was born in the Sudbury hospital in 1964. We had a wonderful time in Great Waldingfield, with wonderful neighbors. We visit England at least once a year. My wife is from Leicester, England whom I married in 1959.

Two years ago we attended our friend's (old neighgbor) 50th wedding anniversary in Red Lodge, England. We frequently visit with our friends durning our trips to England. We still have other friends in Great Waldingfield with whom we stay in touch with.

RE: RE: Memories of Three Happy Years

Hi Bill! Remember those days you 3 yanks played rugby for Witham? You, Al Shwarkey and Glen 'big fish' Fisher? You came along with a chap from Wethersfield village, Malcolm Burr. I remember we had some great times. I live in Braintree now, married for 45 years to Jenny. We have a son, Mark and a daughter Robyn, who has 2 children, James 7 and Alicia 3. I wonder if you remember singing smutty rugby songs in the White Hart? When we asked the yanks to sing us one, the best you could do was 'I've got Sixpence' and you got howled down. If you read this, contact me please with your email address. You can get me at: clivenorris@live.com Hope to hear from you soon. Clive.
