Just finished reading KEITH ELKINS story on the site and what a fascinating and in many ways, sad story it is but highlights just how Barnardos took care of us all but we probably did not apprieciate how dedicated the staff were at the time we were in their care. I have to say Keith, you are a credit to both Goldings and Barnardos. Your life and memories at Barkingside are similar to my own. The holidays, outings, sporting facilities, church and Sunday school and gearies Secondary modern school, which I also attended. I also had one of those uncle & Aunt's who's name was Mr & Mrs King who took me out and invited me to their home for tea on Sundays. I was also fortunate to have maternal Uncle's & Aunt's living in Shepherds Bush and Poplar in London. Like myself Keith, you also had to overcome your Disability problems both at Barkingside and Goldings but with their help, came through it all. Not sure if I remember you at Goldings but one of my best mates was David Kimber, who also suffered with eczema. I also share your comments regarding the influence many of the staff had on us, Pinhead, Pop Steele, David Appleyard, Skip, Tech White, and Mr TordoffI to mention just a few. I left Goldings in January 1959 and have worked most of my life. My own story "Before During and After Barnardos" is also on the Goldings web site, although it has been updated and now and put into book form by my wife, Margaret. We now take copies to the many Barnardo talks and presentations that I do all over the Midlands. My Goldings Profile can also be found on the web site.

Hi Dave, just spoke to you on the phone, I had been thinking about putting the 3000th message on the board for a couple of weeks now. I know you were not aware we had got that far, and I have been busy, and guess what I'm to late.
See you all soon. and the wonder from downunder and you Bob
