School days

Image
Long ago & far away, I went to Abbey Wood comprehensive school. In my later years there I was lucky enough to make a lot of good friends, many of whom I'm still in touch with. Here are some pictures of a few of them & a couple of me - when I was "young & foolish" One of our "6th form" walks, from Westerham Good grief ! I was a "hippy" - but then so were we all; here with my good friend Debbie. Mick & Steve (front row), Alan, Chrissy, Deb, Malcolm, Bernie, Sue & me. Looking back, it seemed like one long holiday - we must have done some work ! Ah yes, & then of course there was Tom & Abbo - Dave Abbott, who (believe it or not) is now a responsible husband & father of 2 big lads Elaine ... ah yes, Elaine; perhaps I should mention here that I was (briefly) married to Elaine - a long time before Trix of course !

The Barber/ Wagenaar Clan

Trix's side of the family. Her Dad is Terry Barber, a true "Brit", whilst she gets her flair for style & continental "attitude" from her Dutch Mother Caroline (Wagenaar). With a second home in Vlissingen, they sound like jet setting channel hoppers; but in reality, they just have too much furnitue for one house ! Caro's brother moved to the States many years ago (Cathage, NY) & has 3 sons. Two of them, Trix's favourite cousins, are Colonels in the US Army. Here's Eric with his wife Beth, daughter Lauren & sons Chris (at the back) & Greg. This was back in 2000 at Eric's transfer of command. The October 2005 Dutch Air Force reunion Caro & Yvonne The Barber clan at our wedding in 1989. Rennie with his ex & 1st son Robbie, Caro & Terry with dear old "olma" (Trix's gran), her uncle Ren & his wife (whose name I can't spell).
