ANN CAUNCE
Born January 1942 in Southport. Moved to Earby at about six months old.
Attended Salterforth Primary School, and still remember Miss Longbottom,
headmistress, and the Christmas concerts, dancing around the Maypole in
the large central room, rounders in the school yard, and the heavy iron
gates
at the front, I think they were green coloured and the brick wall all around.
Started at Barnoldswick Secondary Modern School in 1953. No happy
memories there, teachers were very strict and scary.
Brother Ian was born March 1943, sister Susan in April 1947, both born at
home on Churchill Avenue. Moved to the new house at 77, Kenilworth,
must have been about 1952. Shortly after that my dad announced we were
all moving to Canada. Dr Morrison advised him to find a dryer climate as he
suffered badly from asthma. He left in 1953 to get established here, and we
followed him over in June 1954. Does anyone remember buying Ian's and
my BSA bikes as we had to sell them.
Married in 1962 to Brian Brooks, a Canadian, separated in 1970, later to
divorce in 1973. Have two daughters, Lori who is now 40 and Amanda
(Mandy) who is 38. Have 5 grandchildren, two girls and three boys
ranging from 2 to 10 years of age.
Recently retired after 33 years at the same company, but putting in a few
hours at a new home site on the weekends to help out daughter Lori.
Accidentally came across Ken's Ranch site 3 weeks before I retired in
November 2003, and have been on it ever since. Wonderful idea he had.
I'm hearing from people that I haven't seen for 50 years.
