PS - the 2 earliest photos in Olive Mellett's collection, from 1944, show Ann Johnson in a Wings for Victory effort. Ann, together with her brother Barry (now living in Ontario, Canada) was evacuated with the Melletts. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1 Pauline Osborn (née Mellett) - Langley, Canada - 11th March, 2002 I think I remember being in the "Alice through history," I was the 10 of diamonds. There were other pantomines put on, mostly written and produced by Olive and all involving children. What fun we had not realising all the effort that went on behind the scenes There are many photos of the pantos that I am sure would be of interest. A belated thank you to all who planned and organised those wonderful events., especially you Olive(my mum)Growing up in Wrington was the best. 2 From Philip Whitehouse in Australia, 7th April, 2002 not only the photographs themselves but the inclusion of the concert programmes. One even prompted a recollection of my appearance as a " Tiny Tot " (how times change !) postman- a role doubtlessly granted to me by virtue of my residing in the Post Office at the time. Olive, don't you have any photos of various events during the war years? Perhaps there is enough from you and others in the village for a page entitled "Wrington at War" (suggestion only) |
