I went to St Mary's in Aston from 1959 until 1966 then I went on Holte Grammar school.......my sisters and brother were all at the school at the same time as me.....Rosy Dowling, Ellen Dowling and Johnny Dowling. Last time I was in Avenue Road the school had gone but the Church and Scout hut were still there. I have happy memories of my time there......I lived in Catherine Street at the back of Tubes Limited, where I did an apprenticeship before joining the army for 41 very enjoyable and adventurous years.......happy to say hi to anyone who remembers me or my family....
