Evacuees George And Jennie Barker
A Memory of Gristhorpe.
My brother and I were evacuees for 2 years. We stayed with a wonderful family, Mr and Mrs Braithwait and their daughter Eileen. My brother George went back many times as he loved it there, as he had got very on with a 5-year-old boy and they were always together. My brother tragicallydied in 1954. I went back to Gristhorp about 12 years ago to see this little boy (his name was Bobby, I have forgotten his surname). We had a wonderful time chatting about the past, I don't know why it took me so long to go back there. BUT four months after seeing him I had a phone call to say he had died. I often think, did my brother send me there to say goodby for him?
