When did you attend Priory 1972 - 1977
What was your nickname at Priory? - How did you locate the Priory website? My best friend mailed me a picture of me when I was 13. A photo he found on the site when he googled my name.
Who were your most memorable teachers? Miss Hodgson. What a babe! The most beautiful legs on a biology teacher sitting on her desk in front of the class I ever saw. My English literature teacher. Shame on me for not remembering his name. We read the most incredible books and my love for Shakespeare was born because of him.
Miss Jennifer Hodgson
Who were your best friends at Priory? Steven Hanna, who else, the giant. We were in tune with humor the way I have not been since then. My first job was a holiday job at his father's place of business. I spend nights at his house with his wonderful family. Ate the best chicken and drank coca cola. (couldn't at my house). We made movies with 8 mm. We were scouts together, had roles in plays together.
