  Comments Sheila Mears - was the lady you are asking about a nurse? I knew the Slevin family who lived on Wigan Road and Mrs Slevin has died and she would have been in her 80's.

  Comments Hello everyone, well anyone who knows or remembers me from Whelley Secondary Modern School - one of the best!
I've just been having a look at the site for Whelley Sec. Mod. and noticed a few 'old-timers'there - male and female...hehehe.
Ken (Broxon), how are you these days. Good I hope. Do you remember what we used to say when everything was OK........'chiddypad!'
Now don't tell me you forgotten...already.
Also some of my friends in the same class. Where are you? I do confess, however, some have gone to pastures new.
If this gets through to the site, give me a call, if you wish.
Take care,
God Bless,
Malc Bannister.
