Dear Terry, I expect I knew you very well by sight, but when you get old there are three things which happen to you. One is that the memory starts to go, and I've forgotten what the other two are. As I recall there were actually three fish shops in Post Office Square (which I gather was the block of houses on the other side of the road from P.Rea's), one being Wheels' (my spelling may be quite wrong there), another was on the far corner of the block towards the Green, and the third was down the side and was called "Harry's", whose surname I now think I remember was "Dykes". You're probably right about my mum working in the school kitchen (although I don't remember that), and my brother Eric is still around and healthy, despite living in Doncaster. I suppose you remember the Ranch - both Gene Autry and Roy Rogers are long dead, but Roy's horse "Trigger" can be seen (stuffed of course) in the Roy Rogers Museum. Very nice to hear from you.
