"When we finished our various schools, we kids each went our different ways. I have explained earlier that I started an engineering apprenticeship at Wolseley Motors. Muriel, the eldest went to college in Leicester to study business, I believe. Hazel went to university in Nottingham. I am unsure of what she was studying. Whilst there, she met the man who was to be her husband, Douglas Lochhead.
Hazel and Douggie wanted to get married and as a consequence Hazel had to change her religion to Catholic, which Douggie already was.
After University, Pop used his contacts to get Douggie a job with I.C.I. as a trainee salesman, starting in the Birmingham office. Hazel took up a teaching job, when she lived in rooms in Hall Green, a pleasant Birmingham suburb. The I.C.I. office was in the city centre, and as I remember Douggie was also in rooms. During his training, he used to come to us, in Ward End, for an evening meal, once a week, for quite some time. Probably until he and Hazel were married. I have to say that Douggie did well for himself at I.C.I. He progressed through the company ending up as one of the Directors of I.C.I., Paints Division. (Dulux Paints). Very sadly, Hazel developed Motor Neurone Disease and tragically died much before her time.
As Douggie moved around the I.C.I. organisation, he was based in various parts of the country. This meant that Hazel and her growing family had to move as well, making keeping in touch somewhat difficult." - Clive Enock
