Page Reunion

RIP Marjorie Bird.
About 30 years ago Marjorie and her husband Norman Purdy moved to the USA with their children. Tragically, Marjorie caught AIDS from an infected blood transfusion and became an early victim of this terrible disease. A small cross hangs in Arrington church in her memory.

RIP Reg Hagger.
Much liked local farmer (farmed Wraggs Farm next to Crow End on Arrington Hill). Unmarried. Sadly died a few years ago.

Please e-mail if you are in this school photograph and would like to contribute 100 words on your life to a 'virtual reunion' in this box. Your contribution might (for example) include year of birth, career summary, life achievements, family, and (approx) present residential location. Memorial contributions also welcome and should include the years born/died.
