Dear Sheila, Afraid it wasn't me in the surgery - I'm actually in Sydney, Australia, where we've been for forty-odd years (we're thinking of staying). The only Hathaway I remember in West was Bernard, whose aunt lived in Front Street next to my gran's, near the Wheatsheaf on the corner, opposite Hubert Fairless' shop on the other corner; this was in the 1940s, long before you were born, I suspect. Thanks again for your efforts to contact Eddie Kears - I had a year at Copeland Lane School myself (because othe Essex and Durham rules were different I was too young to go to Bishop Grammar, so had to mark time for a year in West - as it happens, Nora Kears was the top girl in the class in my year).
: Hi, my brother is Terry Hathaway but
: he didn't go to the grammar, he went
: to Copeland Lane as did my other
: brother Keith and sister Jean. I'll
: phone Terry and get Eddie's address
: for you. Have I just seen you in
: the doctor's surgery?
