Dear Martin,
I have just accessed the Theydon Bois Youth Club Convention Newsletter on the
magic www, and read with interest and nostalgia of all the ex-Theydon Boys and
girls.
Although I was not one of the youth club members I was around at the time, and I
recognise so many names.
Now the sad bit. I heard yesterday from Dave Jennings elder daughter, Gail, that
Dave was tragically killed in an accident on his motor bike, by an unmarked
police car, which pulled out of a side road. This was only last weekend.
I had kept in touch with Marion (Dave's wife) and as you may know she also sadly
died last year after a long illness with breast cancer.
I am sure that you, and other ex-Theydon residents will be sad to hear the news,
and if anyone would like to contact the family they can do so at
gailjennings@....
I am trying to find Keith, Dave's brother (& my ex-husband) but with no luck. If
anyone can help I'd be really grateful.
Lovely to see the old pics. I'll hopefully be in touch again with some more
joyful news and an update.
Love,
Migs (Atkinson, formerly Wilson)

A family has paid tribute to a well-respected and successful East Harling

flying light aircraft.

"He was much-loved and respected by all who knew him and will be sorely missed
by his loving partner Eve and all her family, his daughters Gail and Faye,
grandchildren Mollie, Charlie and Ella, his many friends, work colleagues and
the business community."
