Hi pat Watson, This comment has nothing to do with the Talbot, but you have the North American contributors to this site curious ( myself in California and my good friend Jim McCurley in Toronto,Canada). Your sister Mary is still singing professionally out of Louisianna? You said she sings on Cruise ships , you have to tell us when and where ? Jim and I would love to show up at one of her performances and give her a “Stockton Cheer”. Also to regular contributor Ken Rhodes , Hi Ken I have emailed my sister Marg and told her she needs to get on this site and tell us some of her memories. To the picture stockton crew; this site is great for us ex-pats, it allows for a glimpse into our roots, when I left England, Stockton had 75000 people which on looking back was quite a large town but it din”t feel like it ! I think the Weds. and Sat. markets made it into a small village and ALL of us have connections and memories that seem to interconnect. Keep up the great work, we all love it. Its a lot of fun!!
Hi to Colin Coverdale, I was just wondering if you are the same Colin Coverdale whose parents had the Talbot in Stockton in the early50s.(Ithink)
