Hello Again,
I was just telling my sister about this website. She's 9 years younger than me, I'm Joan Gittins, now Johnston and she's Angela, now Garvey. We went to St. Anne's Crumpsall, then ND. I have another sister, Julie, born 1962, (guess who she's named after!), who also went to ND just before it closed. We have a long history with Notre Dame - my mother, Teresa Hartley, various aunts and cousins all went there, and my dad, who grew up in Temple Square and went to St. Chad's and St. Bede's was an altar boy there - in fact my Mum's friends who were boarders "met" him before my Mum did! Miss (Betty) Rossall was at school with my Mum and taught all of us.
We lived on Seymour Road and I do remember the dance hall, although I never went to it.
If any of this sounds familiar, please let me know.
Joan Johnston
