Bob Noble born 1927 Campbell St story

Posted by Norman on 11/11/2024, 10:38 am

Bob Noble is 97 this month and our oldest board regular.
Today I received 2 pages of his story (by snail mail) so scanned them & here they are.
Bob amazes me cos he phones me, emails me & posts on the board. Happy Birthday when it comes Bob

Here is Bob in his Quay Class photo from 1934, then his writings below.

Bob, I loved your story, it brought back so many happy memories, memories that I had forgotten about, the simple pleasures of the life we once lived, blowing dandelion heads off and believing in all they meant, liquorice root a real treat in those days, something you didn't need coupons for, and, how happy we were in those days.

A real treat to read Bob and Norman. My dad Harry Jackson was born December 1926 and lived Dunston Street and McIntyre Street. I expect he shared a lot of those memories
