Thanks for your Kind words Alan of course there are times when I do
wonder why we bother, but a 'pat on the back' goes a long way towards
making up for the promised pictures (and other things) that ofton never
arrive.

Re Miss Wade, yes she has been featured in this Egroup before (now there
is a photo we really should have) and I can only agree with those
comment already made. Her, along with Anne Bulmer, certainly made a
lasting impression on most of one half of the school! Spare a thought
for Edmund though, as he had to work with these ladies.

Re your Science Master Lynda, could you be speaking of Porky Parsonage?
I don't remember him saying that, but it was his style.

He along with Mr Burns and Mr Holmes largely made me the person I am and
certainly taught me the standard I live by today.

us quite often. I don't think we fully appreciated classical music in
those days. I also remember Miss Wade and in fact she was our form
mistress in the first year I think. She was lovely and as a very drab
12 year old wished I could look like her. Oh well some things never
happen no matter how long you wait. We must have been in the same class
I think. I was there between 1957 - 1962 as well. What was the name of
the very strict Science master? I remember him saying on our first
lesson. "I don't want you to burn yourselves using the bunson burners.
It's not that I care about you but I just can't stand the smell of
burning flesh"!!
