Madeline was the girl I went out with. I don't remember her last name anymore. She and her family were like family to me while I was stationed in England. Madeline had blond hair and worked at a factory right near the base at South Ruislip. Her friend, Doris married my friend Marty Puffenburger and they moved back to the states. Madeline lived in a housing development, as you walked from the base to the underground station. As you passed under the station, you kept walking South to the first corner, turned right and walked the block, crossed a busy road, (I think the road we crossed was coming from Northolt), and kept walking another block or so. I don't think it was to the end of that block but there was a turn off from the sidewalk that we took. We turned right again and came into that housing development. I can't remember her street. Her parents lived in a house facing to the right also, which to me would be North if I remember right.
She and her family were so sweet and nice to me. I just want to see if anyone could put me in touch with Madeline again. Find out how she and her family are? She and her family have crossed my mind over the years....
Anybody who was involved with the Third Air Force band at West Ruislip, in the sixties, remembers there bus driver, Graham, also any school children who went to Eastcote school who remembers me.
