Hi Kerry Jones – Your dad was my Sunday school teacher, and our mum’s used to organise the mother & toddler group each week. Dick and Mary Shad were lovely, down to earth people and fitted very well in to South Oxhey. I bumped in to their son John a while back.
My mother and father, Shirley and Don Jones, helped run the Girls and Boys Brigade at St Martin’s during the 1960s and 1970s. Dick Shad was the vicar at the time along with his wife, Mary, offered so much to South Oxhey during this time
I got married in St Martins Church by Mr Shad 48 years ago and look forward to celebrating our 50th in a couple of years. We visited the new church about 8 years ago and were given a tour around by the vicar. Prior to marriage i was Jennifer Bishop. Now Jenny Bean.
