Jim Dean	Yes Gerry I remember the Frontier on Sat. mornings. Gerry and Alan Black (and their sister) performed on that stage) Gerry of course went on to be the guitarist with the brilliant Hilton Showband.Then there was all the Skiffle groups with washboards and tea chests with a broom handle and cord for a bass. Does any names come to mind? Happy Days eh?

Gerry McEvoy	Hello Jim Dean,thanks for the reply and the info about Big Pat,a true ambassador and lovely quiet man.He was in my class for probably all my schooldays,Gerry(Mungo)Devine and myself,Raymond Poucher,Noel Curran,Kenny McMahon,we were practically stuck together,thet's over fifty 'months!' ago.You just lived within spitting distance from the lovely Frontier,do you remember the singing contests that were there on Sat.mornings? Tell me if you do,I've got a lot to ask you.Over.

Jim Dean	Hi Gerry Mc Evoy, no I wasn't in Big Pat's class, he was a year ahead of me but I did know him and all his family. I did meet him over here in Essex many years ago (look up my story on this site "Meeting Big Pat Jennings") Unfortunately it was the time he was playing for The Arsenal ugh! (I'm a Spurs man)

Gerry McEvoy	I can't possibly rate any of the entries,because five is too low!!!watch your head going out. Was Pat Jennings in the same class as Mr James Dean? If the answer is yes,then he can proudly boast,that he was in the best class that ever existed. Period. Thanks for the journal,very good. Gerry McEvoy.......St. Clares Avenue.

Jim Dean	Hi there Tom Wharton, yes I worked in The Satelite (after school) with those pretty girls. I also remember Chucky Eddie's poultry shop.

	Hi, just read the Eastwood family history,and found it fasinating!!I was wondering if anyone,anywhere has a photo of Castletown house,as I attended school in this house,in the early 60s,when it was run by the nuns of st.louis convent,& I was always fasinated by this beautiful house!After i married,and was wise enough to take photos of the house,I visited from where i then lived in cooley,only to find that it had been raised to the ground,to make way for a church!I was gutted,but managed to rescue one of the ornate railing toppers,which i have to this day!when i was growing up,attending school in this beautiful old house,i would imagine buying & restoring it to its former beauty!!such a shame to knock it down!!any help with even one photo,would be wonderful! yours hopfully.THERESA OLIVER
