A Memory of Horncastle.

I have remembered some of my old mates from the homes, in home 8 they were: Frederic Smith, Ray Cooke, Tim Farrow, Philip and Eddy Atter, John and Willy Dobbs, Raymond Boucher who was deaf and dumb, Cedric Harrison, Pete Hewson, John Leake and Charlie Lack. From other homes there was Willy Marsh, Bernard Atkins, John or David Walker, Barry Tune, Monica Dickson, Sandra Fowler, Peggy Chapman, Jean Hanson, Kathleen Parrot and the Glew sisters. The superintendent was Mr Vardy who had a son, Norman and daughters Edwina and ?: Teddy, our housemother was Barbera Beeson who later left to be replaced by Mr and Mrs Bark who had daughters Pamela and Sandra. Home 7 was run by Mr and Mrs Fox. The laundry was run by Mrs Blewit. If I remember more, I will keep you posted.

You have such a perfect memory Kenny and as you now know I never forgot you and always have thought of you as a brother/best mate. Thank you old friend... you have no idea how good it was to share a cuppa with you and the missis.
I remember the pool cos this is where my friends Tony Ashton + more taught me to swim. Magic memories.
