On This Day 3 July 1908 Sir Reginald Goodwin was born in Streatham

Goodwin was from a middle-class family of five and was born in Streatham- the family lived at 104 Pendle Road. He went to Strand School, leaving at 16 to become a tea-buyer for a City firm

Every time I used my bus pass, in my heart would praised and thanked him the person who started this, I searched so many time, I could not find anything. Until now ; god bless Sir Reg Goodwin soul, may god grant his children and grandchildren all the best. I do not know how to say my appreciation for this. Since sadigh khan changed the time table, one can not go on the bus before 9 am, I am more grateful to Sir Goodwin, as for early hospital appointment I was not aware of this change, and I was so humiliés as the conductor would not accept cash , my freedom pass was not accepted. It shows how caring Sir Goodwin was. My prayer always upon him and his family.
