On rummaging through old photos I found the card and mailed it to Radio Caroline some 40 years later Dec.2009..they loved the story, put it on their website and played the song for all of "you" named on the card..I recorded the dedication, the song was "Walking the dog" by the Stones... I had to cry all the way..it was so touching..a blast from the past...the story is still on their website filed under "recent news"......
That's lovely, Anita...you're an honorary Wiganer!
..well, thank you, how nice of you to say that!!!
Thats a great story Anita, you have put some good photos on as well. You obviously liked Wigan, we are known for being friendly.
Where in Germany are you from, I spent three years in Lippstadt, Westphalia when I was in the Army.
Regards
I live near Cologne..Lippstadt is not very far from us....about 70 km...and yes, Wigan was sort of second home to me in the Sixties and Seventies...so different from my life over here..everything was new and exciting..loved it!
