I never knew him James ... but sorry to hear another one of you friends has passed over. We're a vanishing breed mate and we never saw it coming.

Just a thought Jim. Was he any relation to Richard Heads? Richard I do remember. He was one of the three people at school who was a friend. But strangely I lost contact with him the day I left.

The richard heads that you are thinking off went around with eddy sandcaster they both lived up westlea i used to go to richys house but i havnt seen him either since school infact there are very few people that i have seen from our school.I have seen Deka carr a few times terry penman and terry pemberton,julie smith the rest have either vanished or passed on.

I remember the name JIm but not the person ... there can't be many left of the class of '62 now can there? Strange thing is ... it seems to be the fitest of us who are going first.
