Guestbook - April 1998

[23 APR 98]

I left Coventry in '67, have lived around Cleveland, and here in San Diego and visit Coventry every couple of years. Coventry suffers because it is old and the centre is small, and of course the "WAR", did not help, and of course there is the obvious lack of investment. Also there is hardly a soul downtown - used to be the same in Cleveland, people were afraid to go there, but eventually took it back.

Warwickshire countryside is wonderful, nowhere like it. Coffee, there is plenty around just keep looking. Finally, Coventry certainly needs a cleanup, but who wants to pay, and it would not hurt to dispose of most of the new construction and start over.

I love Coventry, whatever.

[22 APR 98] Mercia FM News

Just a quick note to say thanks for supplying the 1pm news from Mercia.

I am currently working in Connecticut, USA and now regularly listen to the News just to keep up with events back home.

The radio stations in this part of the world are so poor - it's a pity you can't pipe Merica FM in realtime! 8-)

Many Thanks

[22 APR 98]

My name is Dawn Masters and I lived in Wyken from 1954 to 1975. I would love to hear from relatives or associates. My parents are Arthur and Eileen Masters. My fathers' parents (now deceased) were Florence and Sidney Masters.

Childhood friends at Richard Lee School included Robert Ashbey, Fred Wojick, Gay, Carol, Jaqui Haime, Phillip, Dave, Gaynor, Jane Noble. Friends at Lyng Hall included Marjorie Payne, Christine, Fay, Hilary, Vicky.

Other friends included Keith Nixon (now in Wales) and his family on Rock Close, Jeff Chandler, Bob McLelland, Chris Loszetski, Paul Haywood (Benny and The Jets), Linda Tony Pat and Rob Goodman, Peter and Daphne from Cov and Warks Labs, and many others.

I would love to receive any old photographs of the Wyken/Hipswell Highway area. Remember when the Pippin had a garden around the Back? The River Sowe had frogs, newts and tiddlers? The grassed land in front of the Caludon had wild berry bushes? The Walsgrave, the Devon, the Market Tavern, the Red Lion were the places to go! My children were born Canadian and these mementos will be cherished in a family history portfolio
