Esther Green RIP
You will be sad to hear that Esther Green died on Tuesday. Esther was a long-standing matron of Barnes and, in semi-retirement, of most other blocks. She also served in the tuck shop. She helped IHT with the annual u13 cricket tour to Devon. She was in Guernsey with her family and she will be buried...

Re: James Hooper And Rob Gauntlett
Allowing for the time zones - they are very close together near the poles (!) - I think they made it on St George's Day. jds

Re: Neil Paknadel
Good to hear from you Julian. Does anyone else remember Neil Paknadel in the very first stage preformance of Joseph and his Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat - in the Prep Hall about 1970? Appropriately, as the only jewish member of the cast, Neil played the Pharoah! - very well indeed. I must add thoug...

Chain Quiz
I was close then! :) I knew that being a Verrio Guide would give me some pointless knowledge! Rushworth and Dreaper have (or has) dogged my footsteps (or pedalling feet ) for my whole career. My own school (I am not an Old Blue) had a modest 3-manual R and D organ in its Memorial Hall which I payed...

Barclay Hankin RIP
I have just heard from Mrs Lucy Foukes (Barclay's cousin) of his recent death. The funeral is to be at St Paul's Church, Chichester at 2.30 on Tuesday 13th March. Barclay was a great stalwart who in addition to looking after Bill Kirby for many years, produced a series of splendidly straightforward ...

Wonderful words ! Thomas Traherne - who wrote Wordsworth poetry 200 years before Wordsworth was born. 'How like an angel came I down: How bright were all things here' : original innocence, a belief in which is an essential pre-requisite to teaching at CH. The tune is not so good - a poor thing, but ...

Re: Police Cadets
As I remember, Peter Burr (PPdeWB) was master i/c at first followed by David O'Meara (DJO'M). The main attraction was that you got free driving lessons from a police driving instructor. If JDs is truly Mr Shippen I remember your extraordinary performances on the big school organ I was usually the l...

Hello again James: David O'Meara rose through the 'ranks' of CCK officers becoming Contingent commander evetually at first with the rank of Major and finally as Lt-Col. He retired from the CCF some years ago (whilst I kept on as Group Scout Leader) and he retired from CH last term. As appreciation o...

Hello James: I have a few photos in my scrapbook of the original All the King's Men. My next major project is to put non-Scout CH photos onto my gallery site. Many hours of scanning ahead but it will be done over this winter. I am just e-mailing some MaA/LaB House photos to Julian who will presumabl...

Thank you all for your comments on publishing photos of children. I am not aware that the Internet has any legislation in addition to that which governs, for instance, school magazines. When I set up my gallery I used the same criteria I had used for 12 years as Editor of The Blue. Indeed most of th...

I discover that I can't post photos directly. The picture of Josh reciting Elvish is however on my gallery site: http://gallery.shippen.org.uk under the Album title Summer Camps 1999-2005 and on page 2 of that. [Comment added by JTaylor:- If you have the direct browser path to the photo, you can pos...
