Later Annette worked in the Publicity Dept with KAY SUNNERS and DON ROWE, as Annette reports, “My years as part of the TVW 7/Ix family were some of the happiest times in my life. I was fortunate enough to work in front and behind the camera when TVW made an abundance of wonderful local programmes. I owe everything to Marion Leyer and Brian Smith for giving me a wonderful musical career filled with amazing memories. Then being lucky enough to work in Publicity with the “Stunning” Kay Sunners and the “laugh a minute” Don Rowe… Those were the days…”

I was a huge fan as a little girl and just saw simon reeve on sunrise not realising who it was. Thankyou all for such a wonderful memory in my childhood!
Hi Annette – how wonderful to see all the familiar faces that I missed late last year. Yvonne Joynt phoned me last night about something else and happened to say she missed seeing me at the reunion. Unfortunately I had no idea it was being organised. Nothing could have kept me away. A big hi and cheers to all. It has been so long. would love to hear from those who remember me

Amazing to see Sandy Baker (Palmer)- she used to be in my class at school and I have never forgotten that she had the most amazing voice as a child. I came back to England aged 14 and am just amazed that I have found all this stuff to look at.
It was so nice to see some of those old faces , it brought back some of my incredible memories of my youth .And how lovely everyone was back then, at my age of innocense. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.Some more of those would be so grateful so we can show my grandchildren..please!
