Caroline Butler! I really liked Caroline but never got around to telling her. Carried her satchel all the way home from Sandhills School to Risinghurst Estate (all of a mile) and don't know what happened to her.....boo, hoo, where are you Caroline? Good job Anna does'nt get to the PC very often eh?

Sam Ross! He belonged to a group of my older brother Robert's friends. Wasn't my type but was the only guy that ever treated me like I was normal. He was a good friend. We used to go to Young Life together. A christian group for young people.

Diane Quin, she was a very shy, odd type of girl who every one made fun of including me but I ended up having some lessons with her and really got to know her, we became great friends for many years. Also Russell Claridge and Colin Richie a couple of really sweet boy's who I hung out with at school, they both asked me out on dates but sadly I declined, I was a bit of a rebel back then and only went for bad lads, Colin and Russell were just too nice.

I'm still in touch with 3 of my friends I knew before we even started school at the age of 5! thats over 52 years! There's Anne, Sheila and Yvonne, we were like sisters.  We went everywhere together right up until we all left school at the age of 16. We still send Birthday and Christmas cards to each other even after all those years. We've all gone our separate ways, married and had families but still continue to stay in touch, although we don't meet up that often now, just the occassional get together.

Thats nice Lyn, I still have my friend Julie who I met at Junior school, we have been friends 34 years, she changed my life really, I was so quiet and shy until I met her, she brought me out of myself, we went through senior school together and are still best friends today, she is a carreer woman, never married or had children but we still have so much in common even though our lives are so different.

Wow, a real walk down memory lane today, Ron.

I had 3 best friends when I was a kid - Liz, Doreen and Judy.  The only one I ever keep in touch with is Liz, and that's only in an annual Christmas card.  Of course, I remember all the boys I had crushes on.  How long do you have?  LOL

I've lost touch with my friends from childhood probably because I've moved so far away.  Arizona is all the way across the country from my hometown and I've only been back about five or six times in 26 years.  I went back for my 25th anniversay high school reunion in 1998.  It was weird seeing all the people I remember as 17-year olds, now in their mid 40's.  It was a great walk down memory lane because it was held in the gym of the high school, but none of the people I hung around with in high school were there, so it was a little disappointing.

You know Ruth, about that walk down 'Memory Lane'! I can still remember the Autumn colours of the Horse Chestnut trees, the conkers falling/fallen to the ground which was ankle deep in yellow/brown leaves. The cotswold stone walling, the red corrugated tin roof of a local farmers barn, and then there was Caroline Butler. I must have been all of eight years old, Phoarrrh! Funny how things stick in your mind eh?

I remember everyone from my village school----after all there were only about  20 of us in the whole school  !!    Some of them still live locally so I do still see them.-----------I remember the woodlice in the whitewashed outside toilets "across the yard"!!
