  1. I was married to Barry Wasley and have just sent the photos of him to his daughters Michelle and Natalie. They were pleased to see them as we had not seen them before.

    • Thanks for showing. Barry was one of my teachers at Highgate Primary School, Western Australia back in the early Seventies. He introduced many of us to the to world of fencing.
