Happy Days.....

Hi Margaret, were you related to Kenny Wheeler?
My school friend Jean Riddell lived at Gentian Walk and we used to go into 'Town' with Kenny.I also remember Jacqueline and Pauline Taylor by name, and someone called Harry who was in 4th year at St Thomas'. .I've never been back since my parents died, but when I was watching 'Life on mars' saw some familiar places.

Omg....Yes, my brother was kenny, I was the youngest of the five...... I remember so well, him going to town (as we called it) with all his pals, especially the twisted wheel......sadly, ive not seen him for yrs, as we were very close once....it would have been nice to tell him you had been in touch.....
