THE Mr Morrin! Very 70's suits but then I guess it was the late 70's. You either
used to teach me (but I can't remember what); or else were our Head of House:
Saxons; or both! You were very sweet and kind, a bit of a soft touch as I
remember and I liked you. But those suits - even then they were a bit much.

Congratulations on your promotion :-)

celebrations. Got an pics you'd like to share?
>Please email digital images to me. Home produced prints could be posted to me
at the school but please don't send originals cos I'm not geared up for
returning them. Would be pleased to hear from anyone.

I've also read your subsequent mailings to this group and look forward to
hearing more about the celebrations. I'm afraid I don't have any pics but if I
should come across anything possibly of interest then I'll let you know.

Hello to the rest of this group - this is my first mailing. I entered Elliott in
September 1975, into Year 3 at the age of 12 and left at 16 in 1979. I was
extremely small for my age and reasonably bright back then and had just come
from Australia so was easy meat for the bullies in those days. It is a pity I
could not have enjoyed my school days more but such is life. Age is a great
thing :-)

All the best Alan!

Caroline (Bullingham)

I'm not sure but seem to think through the folks I have spoken to that Jack died quite a few years ago. I once rang the school some two or three summers ago...
