Vividly remember the list of teachers. Had Mr Rance as form tutor in the 'Rat Room' for what seemed like an eternity. Recognised a number of names on list but mostly in years above but you may remember my brother Malcolm Kew and Angela Kew. Remember Ms Booth and Freda Fossey as PE teachers - saw Mr Clarke at old school reunion several years ago He hadn't changed!!

Martin,
Your name rings a bell. Obviously you were in a higher year than me at Bourne, but from the list of names you have given, I think that David Hogg, Clive Waller, Keith Mahoney and Ken Reading were in the year above me. I think that Ken Reading went out with Sue Parr (sister of friend of mine Colin Parr, who went to St Nicks).
All 3 into rock music at that time.....I think? As was myself.....and still am!

Stephen, I was trying to find out what had happened to some of the old friends I went to school with. I received this web address
and noticed many of the teachers that taught you were the same for my classes. I attended Lady Bankes from 61-66, and Bourne from 67-72. I do not remember your name or any of the people who have responded. I think the site is a great idea for linking old friends together.

David Hogg
Alan Cooper
Dean Johnson
Ken Reading
Brian O'Connor
Paul Ducheck
Clive Waller
Simon Simms
Stephen Good
Bill Mardell
