- April 1998 [23 APR 98]
I left Coventry in '67, have lived around Cleveland, and
here in San Diego and visit Coventry every couple of years. Coventry suffers because it is
old and the centre is small, and of course the "WAR", did not help, and of
course there is the obvious lack of investment. Also there is hardly a soul downtown -
used to be the same in Cleveland, people were afraid to go there, but eventually took it
back.
Warwickshire countryside is wonderful, nowhere like it.
Coffee, there is plenty around just keep looking. Finally, Coventry certainly needs a
cleanup, but who wants to pay, and it would not hurt to dispose of most of the new
construction and start over.
I love Coventry, whatever.

98] Mercia FM News
Just a quick note to say thanks for supplying the 1pm news
from Mercia.
I am currently working in Connecticut, USA and now
regularly listen to the News just to keep up with events back home.
The radio stations in this part of the world are so poor -
it's a pity you can't pipe Merica FM in realtime! 8-)
Many Thanks

My name is Dawn Masters and I lived in Wyken from 1954 to
1975. I would love to hear from relatives or associates. My parents are Arthur and Eileen
Masters. My fathers' parents (now deceased) were Florence and Sidney Masters.
Childhood friends at Richard Lee School included Robert
Ashbey, Fred Wojick, Gay, Carol, Jaqui Haime, Phillip, Dave, Gaynor, Jane Noble. Friends
at Lyng Hall included Marjorie Payne, Christine, Fay, Hilary, Vicky.
Other friends included Keith Nixon (now in Wales) and his
family on Rock Close, Jeff Chandler, Bob McLelland, Chris Loszetski, Paul Haywood (Benny
and The Jets), Linda Tony Pat and Rob Goodman, Peter and Daphne from Cov and Warks Labs,
and many others.
I would love to receive any old photographs of the
Wyken/Hipswell Highway area. Remember when the Pippin had a garden around the Back? The
River Sowe had frogs, newts and tiddlers? The grassed land in front of the Caludon had
wild berry bushes? The Walsgrave, the Devon, the Market Tavern, the Red Lion were the
places to go! My children were born Canadian and these mementos will be cherished in a
family history portfolio
