Edmondson, Alan D.: - Educated at Kettering Grammar School. A deacon of a Baptist Church for several years, Home Group Leader for more years than I can remember. I have written sketches, some of which have been performed, a musical play, which has been performed, plays, and pantomime, which I am currently looking to publish. I also write poetry from time to time, a mixture of "fun stuff" and more serious subjects. I love acting and singing, and have sung in choirs, and taken principal parts in amateur musical theatre, pantomime, and straight plays. I served as a professional accountant in practice for 21 years, then set up and ran, with my wife, a small Old Peoples' Home for 21 years. My wife Maria and I have two sons, and ten children who know us as grandparents.
