Friday My Town Shoot-out - "Things That Barry Made Me Think Of"

This week's subject for the Friday My Town Shoot-out is "Things That Barry Made Me Think Of" - chosen by NanU. In memory of Barry Edward Fraser – April 3rd 1943 to 20th July 2010.


Those who have followed Barry’s blogs will recall his ‘classic of childhood’ posting showing him in his pram. I couldn’t resist showing you a photo of me in my pram with my bruvver, GB, looking on.


And this photo was taken a few years later and shows three generations of my family – GB, Dad, Mum’s Mum, Mum, and me. I was reminded of this photo by Barry’s death. It hardly seems any time at all since I was that 10 year old youngster and yet two generations have passed away since then and GB and I are the senior citizens of the family. how time flies.

My thoughts go out to Barry’s wife Linda.

If you would like to see other members' shoot-outs please go to the link page.

    I like how Barry helped you reflect back to your pram days. You look like you're on a Harry Potter audition in the second photo.

    yes the photos and the humor work to remind us... we all are of the same generation - though my mother is still alive we are the older generation now - the grandmothers and grandfathers.... it doesn't seem possible does it?

    Barry touched us so much that we are writing a tribute. Makes me think what a special person he is.
