I was in the same class as Sue Barry during the 1950’s. I remember walking past her house each morning on my way to MHPS. I resided at #51 Ourimbah Rd. Lots of memories of those great years.
Kind Regards

Looking at these photos triggers memories of the people I went to school with.
Susan Barry and Rod McCracken happen to be two on the long list as in those days over forty pupils in each class was the norm.
I lived in Congewoi Rd and although I did not walk past this part of Ourimbah Rd on the way to school on the way to the shops in Roseberry St it was part of the trip.
I will be adding some stories and photos to the Mosman memories blog shortly, if you can help or just wish to converse contact me at swimwiz@optusnet.com.au
