During the war, as a youngster,we lived in Bonnington Grove, Heavitree and I went to a private school run by (to me) a very old lady known as Miss Johnson, I had many friends there one was Richard Jupp, who lived in Wyndham Avenue. We were friends for many years, and after I left school (Ladysmith Secondary Modern) I became an apprentice at Southern Railway's yard at Exmouth Junction. At 18 I left to go to find fame and fortune in "the smoke" and lost touch with all of the people in Exeter. If anyone knows Richard, or Robert Woodward I would love to hear from them. I have lived in Canada now for 35 years, and having no family left in UK do not get back very often. My Father, Frederick Reeves, worked in Gloucester at an aircraft factory during the war, and only came home the odd weekend, and we would go for a picnic at Dawlish Warren, on top of the hill where the Mount Pleasant Inn was (still is?) and I remember watching Spitfires over the channel, or maybe Hurricanes, this would be 1944-ish. I still remember the Street Party on VE day.
