Hi Fred
A little difficult for me , have so much on at the moment. Would be nice though to hear from some more classmates and to find out how and where they are these days.

I imagine many a Wiganer has gone far and wide in the world.
I left the Wigan nest in November 2000 to live in the USA in the Upper Peninsular of Michigan only a short distance from Lake Superior shoreline.
How many more of the class have flown the nest I wonder, would be interesting to find out

Harriet, lovely to hear from you. I remember Jeff Broadbelt (he insisted it was not Broadbent). We grew up next door to each other and were great mates. I remember he was sweet on you. I am in touch with Dorothy Higham and Tricia in sunny Spain. There is talk of a reunion and I cannot find a better activity for us all. Britboy in the US, I am sure would like to get together again. I have contacted Valerie but no response, also John Cramers wife but again no response. Hopefully all will reply and perhaps next year we can all get together again, somewhere. I am willing to keep a list of all who would like to attend for a great time of reminiscences and do the co-ordination etc, so please everyone interested in a reunion, contact me and I will keep you all posted. DO NOT WIMP OUT.....there , you have been told.
