22/07/01: Valerie Birch of Fitzroy Street, Feilding, New Zealand writes: Do you remember me? My name has now changed to Jefferies and I left for New Zealand in 1993. I was at Hesketh Fletcher CE High School 1975-1980. I'd love to be in touch with old school mates. Names that ring a bell: Mandy Oxley, Gillian Unsworth, Julie Foran, Tracy Whaites, Deborah Shaw, Angela Sale, Nigel Thorpe, Stephen Tinsley, Andrew Coleman, Stephen Parkinson, amongst a few. If you know any of these people pass on my regards and tell them I'd be glad to hear from them or anyone that remembers me in that area. My mother was Connie Birch (Connie Eaton) and now lives in New Zealand as well. rooanne@xtra.co.nz
