Hello Richard, What a pleasant surprise to see your message on the Goldings site. I often think of you and wonder where you ended up. Like myself, I think you were also a mate of David Kimber.
I'm sure you will remember me. We were best mates at Barkingside where Ray & Marjorie Cooke were our house parents.
I was in Mignonette cottage from 1951 -1953 then the entire household moved across the green to Hyacinth cottage. I remained there until going to Goldings in 1955, leaving in 1959 and returning to Nottingham. I recall you being in Hyacinth (not sure about Mignonette) before you went to Goldings. I seem to remember you had some connection with the Hereford area(not Hertford!) I remember you comming to goldings and I was friends with Bill Charlton, Terry Whitehead and Dave Barlow to mention a few.
I am still very much involved with Barnardo's and have been attending the Goldings reunions since the early 1980s.
Richard, you have just discovered one of the best Web Sites in the UK. It will be great to hear from you either via e-mail or on the Goldings site and I'm sure there will be others who remember you.
Take care and hope to hear from you soon.

Hello Goldings, I was in the homes from 1949. I was at Woodford bridge, Aberdare, Barkingside, and then at Goldings 1956. I am interested for anyone who might have known me then,and would like to get in contact. Thanks.
