hi Dave....
How are you doing Mate....I been thinking ...I never for a minute thought you were 1 of 12....I knew of tommy and Violet and a couple of others...I was
saddened to hear of Violets problems with her legs...She always told me bits and pieces about and gave a pic of you on the beach in front of a wooden house on stilts
you had a spear gun...bit scarey.
Do you remember the morrisons in the first house coming out of balfour.......There was Harry, who im sure you will know...he lives in turkey im told by his brother Robbie
that he is head of a tribe over there...Dont ask me.....Robbie did well in the police and finished pretty high up.
What job have you been doing over there...I spoke to 1 of your brothers a few years ago and he said you were in council security in what I thought was Runcorn...Ive had a
few probs with my computer but I will at least send you a couple of my photos ive dug up next time....
I was sorry to hear of your heart probs ..Thats a big op ..take it easy......I suffer with AF, heart failure and have been fitted with a ICD....Im knackered but Im happy

Take it easy Dave,
John

Hi Dave,
just wondered if you were related to John Rowlands, who lived in Balfour rd. and still lives, not far away?
