I
just love your site and wish I had found it
earlier..
I was born in Raunds and attended Wellingborough
High school for girls..
I worked at the National Provincial bank in
Rushden for awhile..
Then I worked at the PX at Chelveston,
which is where I remember most of the names
from, they all sound so familiar..
I married a GI from Chelveston and we moved to
Minnesota in 1957..
Then moved to Phoenix Arizona in 1971, my husband
has since passed away and I have remarried..
I would be so happy to hear from old friends who
may remember me..
as we all know, old friends are the best and
truest we have in our lives..
