I am a past resident of Millgrove. In fact preMillgrove when it was known as Children's Home and Mission. Called by us kids as Cows, Horses and Monkeys. I was there from 1945-51 when Keiths Grandfather Herbert and later Keiths Father Victor was in charge. I remember Keith as a toddler. I use to visit now and again as a teenager in the 1950's. Then again in 1970, but then my next visit was not until last year when Keith welcomed me with open arms. I am now a regular visiter and have met some of my boyhood friends, and now in touch with some others by post, directly and indirectly. My Stepson asked me if I thought of Millgrove as "Home"? Question:- Why do so many past residents and other people keep in touch, I think the answer lies in Keiths book. Best Regards. Alan.
