I went to school with Michael Morgan and it was his father who suggested we should put our names forward for interview as apprentices. I haven't seen Michaelfor over 40 years but heard that he became a head teacher. Do you know if he finished his apprenticeship or left early for teachers training college? After serving my apprenticeship as a fitter I was promoted to the plant jig and tool office working with more senior colleagues Jimmy Carr, Ronnie Cox and Les Smallman from whom I learned quite a lot and received a lot of co-operation from Jack Holmes and Co as well as Arthur Penson and Frank Blundell Toolroom foremen, Bert Platt Works Superintendant. Also the boiler shop foreman of Messrs Dooney and Greenway and machine shop foreman Stan? who always chewed chewing gum but I have forgotten his surname.
