Hello! My name is Anthony Francis Ryan. I was born on the 15th September 1958, the youngest child of Mr. Patrick Oliver Ryan and Mrs. Bridget Catherine Ryan nee Canning. The first address that I lived at was 200 Third Avenue, in Dagenham, Essex. When I was about 9/10 we mover to our new house at 48 Review Road, in Dagenham, Essex. I went to St. Peter's Infant and Junior School. I was considered quite bright so I was put in the class a year ahead in my final year, which meant that I went to Secondary School a year early. Secondary School was The Campion School, Wingletye Lane, Hornchurch, Essex. Again I was quite successful passing 'O' Level Mathematics in the equivalent of Year 9 and studying 'Additional Mathematics' in Year 10 where I looked at Differential and Integral Calculus. I suppose that I should have gone on to complete Mathematics 'A' Level, but I did not. Instead, I went for Chemistry, Physics and Zoology (Biology not being an option). I passed my 'A' Levels at the second attempt, and went to Aberdeen University to study Psychology. I was a modular degree and I studied Chemistry, Statistics and Zoology in First Year, and Anatomy and Physiology in the Second Year. In my third year of University I got married for the first time to Isobel Ann Hutchison. It was not a successful marriage and we divorced seven years later. After University I got a job with the local Social Work Department in the Lodging House, 33 East North Street, Aberdeen, and made it to Assistant-Officer-in-Charge before heading off to the National Health Service and embarking on training as a Psychiatric Nurse. My memories of this are of a very enjoyable time, and as a Student Nurse, I was party to taking a group of patients to St. Andrews and losing one of them! My interview for a Staff Nurse post was with me being extremely hung over and smelling of stale booze. It was also during my training that I left my wife and moved into Nurses' Accommodation. My first post as a Staff Nurse was in Millar Ward, Ross Clinic. The Charge Nurse was Neil somebody or another, I did not like him, and he did not like me. After a while, I left and moved up to Crombie Ward, upstairs in the Ross Clinic. After regaining my equilibrium, I went to become Deputy Charge Nurse at 375 Great Western Road. From there, I went to become Project Manager with the Richmond Fellowship setting up a project in Aberdeen. Although I enjoyed it, I messed up and I walked. My partner at the time, Patricia Carol Clarkson, had two friends, Stuart Crothers and Tarri Karren. Together we formed Lethen Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, which ran for a short while but ran into trouble and folded, taking our house and my credit score into the toilet. I don't think we ever told the other two that our pet names for them were the 'Arrogant Bastard' and 'The Witless Tart'. I found one of them on Facebook recently, and they have started another Company. I 'lost them just as quickly. Good Luck!
