If you were a child growing up in Manor Park there wasn’t an event that the Whittington family was not involved in. I spent every Friday night with them rollerskating at the school. During the break between child skate and teen skate I was always with Rae and loved each and every Friday night. It was truly an honour to know such a wonderful women.
