It's wonderful to think what they might be doing now. I see you're a successful author - along with another ex pupil Catherine Fisher. Keep up the good work.

You taught me History in Father Hill's and at St Josephs and you were my form teacher at one time or another. I was quiet and swotty. Same year group as David Shewring, Adrian O Reilly, Michael Graham, James Morgan,Alison Liddy, Rita Lai.<br />I'm 49 today!! How old does that make you? I'm a primary school teacher in Bettws and a children's writer (three published so far)<br />I have no idea how I managed to get to this site.<br />Best Wishes<br />Paul Manshippaul mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644036152805047632.post-64948348917382573692009-04-16T04:07:00.000-07:002009-04-16T04:07:00.000-07:00I remember Philip Hobson and David Logan, louche b...I remember Philip Hobson and David Logan, louche boys both, though one rather disappointingly became a Liberal Democrat :)<br /><br />Ref your circuitous route to this blog via Pauline Broadley - I guess we will all one day end up as flotsom on the shores of google.<br /><br />I'm glad to see you're apparently doing well in Design, and appreciate your anecdote concerning Mr W.

I made alot of the costumes in order to get out of PE... it was filmed and I have always been curious to see the result... so I googled Pauline Broadway and came to your blog... I actually can't remember who was in my History class... possibly Philip Hobson and David Logan... I have fond memories of Mr Witherington... I once had a long chat with him about reggae when he was supposed to be telling me off!Victoria J. E.
