Would that be Mike Overend?
Deirdre was a tall blonde, but no idea who her husband was.

AFAIR Dr Scott (medical man i/c infirmary 1950/1060 period) was an OB.

What's all this about scouts? I also was an SL for 17 years, was it some dope fed to us with the bromine?

Thinking of headmasters, so was Mr Baker (79-85) and his successor who was at CH for 5 terms...

If you couldn't find Mr Kirby, the best place to look was in the signals hut, he would spends hours on end in there with only the odd loud bang as something blew up.

I don't know, but he was my parents' best man!
I think it was Howard who told me Robin taught at the school at our Maine A reunion back in May.
Yes, he was definitely teaching English around 1978.

Very nice guy too.
