I  was evacuated to the Old Bishops Palace in Ripon Yorks. approx. 1941 till 1947, would love to find some of my old girlfriends from back then. My memories are pleasant ones because I know 40 or 50 girls must have been a handful, but I think we were not a bad lot  anyway girls I can be reached at xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I now live in Louisiana U.S.A. but would love to hear from anyone who may remember Betty Driver Thanks for the opportunity to at least try to contact old friends.
