Old classmates and old friends

I would like to hear from anyone who went to Largymore and Sloan St schools between the years 1943 to 1951.
One of the first entries I read on the forum was from Margaret English from the Ballynahinch Rd. I understand she is in the U.S. It would be nice to hear from her, also her sister Rosemary. Others I haven't heard of for years are, Richard Lavery,Eddie Smith, George McCartney, Ken.Scott, Dennis McFarlane, Bill Greer, Ronnie McMurray Charlie and Hazel Irvine, Billy Maginnis and a few more.
I am sure some of you read the Forum, so give it a go.

Sincerely,
Billy Hanna (Beano)

Hi Harnee,

Do you remember any of these names..... Ruth Hanna (no relation)Thelma Smith, Jean McCloy, Patsy Shirlow, Pauline Shields, Ethel McAllister, Ernie McConnell, Billy Mercer, Bobby Carlisle, Tom Carlisle, Winnie Potts, Olive Hall and Tom Lavery, they all went to Largymore around the same time as yourself. I don't know why these names stick in my head but they do.
I aggree with Harold that Lily Mc Farlane was a beautiful girl, so sad that someone should die that young.
Regards,
Beano
