Olwen, So my old memory is not gone after all. I know what but do you know why? I also recall a young woman called Olwen (but not McLeod) who did great justice to the mini skirt! An impression that lasts nearly 50 yrs....now that is an impression!

You are correct Santana there is indeed a connection - do you know what it is or would you like me to tell you?

I remember Leon Scott as a very pretty extremely talented singer and am delighted to hear about her success and increasing recognition...even better that she is with my dear school friend Liam. Nice to hear also about Harry J and Patricia...but here is my question...is there a connection between Patricia and a dried up river bed or is my old memory playing tricks?

Many thanks for posting the pics of the demolishing of Sinclair St, a very sad day. My grandparents reared 9 children in this street, at no 13. My Granny lived there until her death in 1979.

OK Olwyn, here goes. Liam McCrum is about town, married to Leon Scott who's had recognition at last for her fantastic singing voice, doing world tours with the likes of Van the Man and Daniel O'Donnell (NO! NOT at the same time!!??!!) : Kieran Kinney is about too - not long ago his son married the daughter of my mate Peter Donaghy: Marty McConville is teaching and living in Portrush : Sean Flanagan (brother of my friend Brendan) is Principal of a school in Lurgan and lives in Warrenpoint : Harry Johnston too is a teacher in St Mary's ; the lovely Siobhan is now a mother in her own right! Enough?

To Hugh Farrell;
Thankyou Hugh, for your email.Yes I do remember you and your Mum and Dad. Hope both are keeping well.
I was over at a family get together last August in Armagh. Drove to Newry and had a walk up Cecil St. I still remember the fantastic times we all had as kids. I still want to retire in Newry. Sadly, I lost my sister Joyce a couple of years ago to cancer. I now live and work in Sydney Australia but, go home to Scotland and Ireland at least every two years.
I love this web site as it brings back the memories.
Please keep in touch and let me know how everyone is doing. Once again, thankyou.

Everybody else has move on but I would see most of them fom time to time...Peter Mallon, Charlie Feris, was talking to sean & Kieran at a family get to gether about a week ago. Hope you are keeping well and I will talk to you again

We live in Sydney too - Hornsby area - moved to Aussie in 1968, sorry, don't remember your family....
Martin, thanks for the info on Joey. As Brian said we lived at #11 Derrybeg Drive - that should fill a gap in the Derrybeg Drive page.
