Fay Bates remembers The Chadbands lived next door [486 Williamstown Road]. I remember the house was a brown coloured place [similar to other single-fronted weatherboards in the precinct]. They had a nice brown double gate at the back. Very high. I was fascinated the two boys marrying the two girls from next door [490 Williamstown Road]. Keith married Lorraine Smith and Norman married Joan Smith. They had a brother Ron and a sister Jean. Keith and Lorraine had a son Brett, who played football for Port.
