Dear Editor
My name is Clive Graves, I
remember Freda (page 36,
December Phonebox) she was a
fantastic landlady, my father never
stops going on about the days when
Freda was landlady. I was in the tug-
o-war team that tied the rope around
the lamp post. My parents and I
would like to send our best wishes
to Freda.
Many thanks.
Clive, Stan and Dorothy Graves

Dear Freda
I hope you recognize the attached photograph of your wedding
day in the early seventies.
Several of the boys from your Cowper's Oak football team are
on it, but most of us mainly played rugby. Everybody on the
photo is alive and well (except Arthur Mead who died several
years ago).
We all send you our love and best wishes for the future and
would like to tell you the Cowper's Oak has never been the
same since you left!
Sincerely
Tony Foster, Manny & David Howkins, Jim Perkins, Geoff
Middleton, Frank Williams, Dougie Mynard, Steve & Ginger
Howson, Chunky Chandler, Haggis & Twink and all your other
old friends and customers
Hi Ron
Freda said she would be very happy to hear from her old friends and gave
me permission to send her address to you (available from Orchard Press).
Freda tells me that her time at the Cowpers Oak was the happiest time of
her life. I am 92 and my only contact with her is by telephone and because
I have my PC and able to contact anybody she turns to me for help.
The brilliant photograph you sent me of the Cowpers Oak I have now
printed on glossy, A4 size and when my sister arrives here for Christmas
with me she will deliver my cards to all my neighbours including Freda
and that special picture and my special thanks to you and Yvonne for
your kindness.
