CAN ANYONE BEAT THIS RECORD?



The picture was taken circa Christmas 1962.  It shows the late Ellie Webb surrounded by her sons, Michael, Keith and Derek with a family friend.  All three of the Webb boys attended Our Lady of Mercy & St Joseph's School. To the far left of the picture is their red  A.P.F. Box.  After Ellie's death Keith Webb has continued to collect for the A.P.F., which helps to fund the Mill Hill Fathers and the Pontifical Missionary Society in their work throughout the world.    Do you know of a red box which has been going for longer than this one?     (At present about £1500 a year is raised for the A.P.F. from boxes distributed among parishioners of Our Lady of Mercy and St Joseph.)
