1963 to 1977

My family lived in Goodyers Ave. Dad had #65 built by the next door neighbour who sold us the plot! Best mates were Antony Draper [Oakridge Ave], then Chris Francis [Craighall Ave], then Charlie Thompson [Watling St] and Andrew Brodie [Williams Way]. I went to Colney St Primary School [Mrs Meggat] and then Radlett Prep. School [Geoff Pullen and the Bishops]. After RPS I went to St Columba's in St Albans. My intro to work was milk-rounds and then at WH Smiths with Mr and Mrs Bell [Eddie and Betty!] doing paper rounds. I then worked in the shop on the tills [with Nigel Goodman] during the school holidays. Mr Bell was a formidable boss! Confirmation classes with Andrew Daynes at Christchurch followed by the real deal conducted by Archbishop Robert Runcie. Loved Radlett and still drive through occasionally.
