Some names please, Phillip. My memories gone blank on me apart from a very few.
I need to correct my last posting. It should,of course, read
"My memory's gone blank on me."

Thanks very much for that,Phillip. There are others on there I should have recognised but didn't
My cousin Dorothy Charnock middle row 3rd from the left.
3rd from the left looking at the photograph that is.
2 missing girls were twins believe it or not, one was called Katherine I think, both really into USA.
I think the surname of the twins might have been Luck?
Hello Dorothy - I used to sit next to Colin Crompton, do you remember me? So many years ago. I think the name is Katherine Luck, but her sister's name escapes me.
The other twin was Lenice, (not sure of spelling).
Phillip, I think this photo is not 3A but 4A. Miss Anderton was our form teacher for the first three years, then she went do do VSO or something similar in Africa. This form teacher is Miss Evans who only lasted a year. Then Miss Topping was our form teacher.
Hello Steven. Yes, you are right. I wasn't sure, so it's class 4A in 1969. Do you still live and work in Hindley, I haven't spoke or seen you since 1972, I think?
Phillip, that's right, we went our separate ways in 1972. I went to University and then qualified as a teacher. I still live in Hindley in the same house as all those years ago. I retired early from teaching a few years ago. Do you still live/work locally?
Hello Stephen. No, I live and work in Switzerland since 1981.
Perhaps, we can meet for a chat when I visit my sister who lives in Westhoughton?
Phillip, that would be great. I'll now check this page a few times a week, then we can sort something out.
Stephen, I will probably be coming over during Easter-time. We can get together then.I am sure that we'll have a lot to discuss.

I'll look forward to it Phillip. I go on holiday on 30th April.
Stephen, you can send me an email to establish a communication link to make it easier to arrange a meeting. See my recent comment box.
Yes, twins were Kathryn and Lenice Luck. It was Kathryn and I who were really into the Kennedys and all things American. Teacher was Tamara Evans - 'Tamara's World'.
I understand that Lenice died. Does anyone know?
Still meet up with Denise Lloyd, Jean Glover, Marion Pickford, Janette Parkinson, Margaret Hardy, Marion Dobson & Jean Corner( married to Roy Corner). If anyone would like to join us, post a message here.
I remember Marian Dobson.....we were friends, as were our parents, before HAGS when we lived near to each other in Ince. I'm not a great one for reunions etc. but would just like to say "hello" and best wishes to all.
Hello Carole. I would like to see you all again after nearly 42 years. I will be visiting the UK this summer. How could I contact you - do you have an email?
Hello Steven (Oddie) - can you send me an email - your previous email address doesn't work. Kind regards, Phil.
Hi
I was a couple of years in front but remember many from this class.
Know Living in Denmark but visit UK every few months.
Good luck to all those WHO remember these good years.
2015 and just looking at the old pics. I have been working in Middle East and North Africa 1980-6 and 2008 to present. Hope there can be a reunion. Bumped in Shirley Anderton in Abu Dhabi a few years ago
Only just discovered this site. Lost touch with everyone once Friends Reunited closed. Live in Melbourne now but am enjoying reading about everyone’s lives. Wish everyone well.
