Like Reg,I remember Boski Stewart very well. His nickname came from the fact that he was short sighted and wore old fashioned thin spectacles which gave the impression that he had a squint in one eye. He was 3/4 years older than me which would make him approx. 82 now. Boski was a very talented sportsman - clever footballer and spin bowler. I can recall one particular incident he was involved with which became part of our family lore. He had a good friend called Johnny Knight (they were ball boys together at Wimbledon) who rather fancied my sister Celia. My father was called downstairs one evening because surprisingly they had been fighting. On examination, my father found out that Boski had been excluded from the football team because he wouldn't apologise concerning some incident. Johnny had told him he was crazy not to do so and Boski had responded by saying "well, we all know what you are crazy about" ie my sister! Fisticuffs quickly followed. Another little reminiscence of life growing up at Goldings. If he is the right Stewart and still with us, I would like to be remembered to him.

Hi everyone,
What another wonderful Golding's reunion we had last weekend and it was nice to see so many familiar faces again. The award to David Wheatley was well deserved as he has been attending for many years now and of course many of us remember him when he was at Golding's.
Last Thursday morning I had my visit to the hospital for my biopsy results and sadly there was no better news than before. I will commence Chemo in just over two weeks time. Without it, I have been given 3 month's, with it, 3 - 8 month's but despite the news, I have no intention of giving up the fight.
Before the treatment, I will take a holiday, for which I have the hospitals support. My Golding's friend David Barlow(of 54 years)and his wife Dawn flew out to Portugal last Tuesday to celebrate his birthday on October 15th. On receiving my news on Thursday morning, Dawn immediately telephoned me suggesting we tried to join them. By late that afternoon we had been to the travel agent's and booked and will have seven nights with them arriving tomorrow evening. If this is to be my last holiday, I can't think of better friends to spend it with. Again it goes to show how united the Barnardo family are.

Hi Dave
In response to Heather Webster's question regarding her uncles who were put into Dr Barnardo's in 1944 at the age of about 10 years old and who were also at Wimbledon.
If Heather hasn't got the ages quite right, then one of them could possibly be 'Bosky' Stewart, who was in Somerset at the same time as myself. As you know, most boys weren't known by their Christian names. Regards, Reg

Hello Dave.
I wonder if you are able to help me.
My uncle, Albert Stewart was taken in by Barnardos, sometime after the death of his father in 1944, with his brother.
Unlce Albert was a Ball Boy at Wimbledon but his photo and other memorabilia was lost many years later following the death of an older brother.
Uncle Albert is the last remaining of the 8 Stewart boys, and is quite poorly.
I have seen the Ball Boy photo's on the Goldings.org website but cannot tell which, if any of the boys is him.
Can you give me any information to help me find a Ball Boy photo of him please?
I think he may have been approx 8-10 in 1944. I don't know the year or years he was a Ball Boy.
You must receive many many requests like this one, and I apologize for the vague information. But if you could point me in the right direction, that would be wonderful.
Thank you.
Heather Webster ( nee Stewart).
Can anyone help
