He served as secretary/accountant for the Brookmans Park PTA at that time. He suggested the idea of Village Day. (I will never forget the idea of inviting Bob Wilson, the Arsenal goalkeeper to be the goalie for the penalty kick competition!) My father received a recognition trophy for his fundraising and secretarial efforts; it now sits proudly on my 94 year old mother’s mantelpiece!<br />SimonLet the Rabbits Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11813869324589809584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3849220738921584766.post-83184204244874446082018-03-22T09:20:54.643+00:002018-03-22T09:20:54.643+00:00Hi Judy
