This fictional
young fellah may have accompanied Dad to First Division Goodison Park to

Cinema lover? -Liked Sunday afternoons at the Majestic on Daulby Street.
A
new dawn has emerged from an earlier trilogy and spawned in the first
printing of the follow-on from Liverpool Kids of WWII, in the form of
LIVERPOOL -Early TEENS Post-WWII Years 1946/7 Book 1.

Big Pond; there are personal disappointments and sudden grief.

Is happy in his skin.
Interested in all things
