Maria, I remember you and your sister and Hazel Irving very well. I was one of the ones who used to walk with you every day! From one side of town to the other - we certainly got our exercise!

Glad you enjoyed my posts - it's amazing how the memories start to flow once you start writing or reading them.

I'm not in touch with anyone from CPS so can't help you there but keep looking on Accyweb and you never know what/who you might find!
