Dear Akaroa, just joined ROSA March 30th 2016 Not certain if I have gone to the correct reply. Firstly, I,m sorry I don't recollect much of Reedham. That said. I am a past female scholar at the School. Attended September 1953 - August 1954. My Father who was killed March 27th. 1943 ( He was a number one. leading Torpedo-Man. On the ill fated H.M.S. DASHER. ) my mother was 5 months pregnant with me. So, she was widowed at 19 years old. Father was 24 / Guess I was entered this world 3 weeks too soon. ( June 8th 1943 ) My mother always said she felt me " Turn " after reading the Telegram. Mother remarried when I was 5 years old. ( kept my fathers Surname, Thompson. He was Scots. From FIFE ) step-father was a rotter, even left his "own" Son, Stephen ( who I. loved dearly ) 11 Years younger then myself. I,m digressing, I returned back home 6 weeks after he was born August 9th 1954, as I don't know if I,m in the right " Section" as it were. I have "memories" of the School. as I first said. ( Not very cheery ones ) fast forward, married a local Fireman at The Scunthorpe Fire Station. I was a General Post Office Telephonist ( 25) He was 28 how time flies. !!! I remember going to the Royal Navy Dockyard. With a few boys & a couple of girls. ( never knew their names.) went aboard a destroyer, and stayed the night at the Navy Dormatries ( Sorry for spelling mistakes ) This was during early morning a nice young woman informed me I had a baby brother ( August 9th. 1954 ) born 6/ 10 am.) Soon after I left Reedham School. Guess, I wouldn't recognise the old School. Now. Have,nt been much help to you. And I,ve rambled.!! I only remember a nice young girl Margaret Farley ( 14) she told me she had a brother ".Basil" / her mother had not told her about him, as he was,nt expected to live. She was a very tall girl, Blonde. Pretty. She left just before myself. I now live in Cleethorpes ( Since Nonember 5th. 1976 ) Husband retired from The Grimsby Fire Service. ( 1993) we had no children sadly. ( my name at the time of Reedham School. Was Pauline, M. j. Thompson. Yourself, or anyone remember me ? Not sure if I should leave my e.mail address.? "HEALTH & HAPPINESS" to you all. (Wherever you all are ) Pauline Pinder.
