| Message | Hello all. Great memories and some good friends--lost contact, moving on--the way of forces families.( I counted I attended about 13 schools, 5 of them secondary ). Transferred to PRS when KAS closed. Recognise a few names in guest book--Tim Smith( page 17 ) especially.--Hi Tim. Gaffer was House Master. Recall John Bennie, Mike Morgan, Andy Halliwell, Pat McMahon, Jim Wells ( Emil )-(no longer with us.) Art Farmer. Dave Cousins, Rob Walker, Jackie Hurst, Val Parnell,Fitz, Pat O'Brien and her brother Ian ( I think).--more if I think longer I expect, so sorry if I've missed you out ! Winter on the Bonteheim. The bollards on the harbour edge. The low buildings--ex shelters? which were used for CCF cadets. Arduous training exercise in the Harz mts. freezing in tents. Sailing Pirates in the harbour. Basketball. Fried bread with Marmite. Ginger beer fermenting under the bed. Malz beer from the kiosk on way up to main school. Bonteheim gatehouse/common room. Old armchairs. Life going on outside, still some evidence of war time damage, damaged gun? positions on the Fliegerdyke, 50s cars, Lloyds, Beetles, Wartburgs, Mercs. Borgwards, Heinkel and Messerschmidt bubble cars. School buses and drivers. Miss Tebbs, Flick !, Woodwork where everything took so long to make, boring in a way but strangely something I took up many years later fixing old furniture.-- Many more memories of course. All the best. Pete. |
