1963-68 as a student

Who was your most unforgettable teacher?
Henry Fowler - Perhaps the most intelligent and rational person I have ever met
Patrick Bourke - A gifted History teacher with a seriousness of purpose and supreme wit
Norah Hernould - Dedicated to English, Music and the general well-being of all students
Greta Fowler - for making English Literature quite interesting
Richard Wingate - for personifying insanity!
John Tansey - for his ability to transform extremely unfit teenagers into some fine athletes, notably on the football field
Miss Lou - Without whom every person on the premises would have expired by 10 am! Her tuck-shop was an essential daily visit

I was part of the cricket team caught by Henry Fowler sharing a spliff under the tamarind tree on the bottom field.
Who was the craziest person during your time at Priory?
Probably the Williams brothers, Steve and George aka the Bear, Randy Cargill and Jon Harvey.

Where do you live and what do you do now?
I live in Lincoln UK, which is about 150 miles northeast of London, where I operate my own DVD business from home. Prior to this I spent many years in the Lloyds of London insurance market.
My hobbies are anything related to History, Politics, reading and most sports, particularly football.
