Would that be Mike Overend?

Deirdre was a tall blonde, but no idea who her husband was.

Sounds like the Deirdre I know!

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...

John? Hansford

Mr Whitehouse (unknown) - he taught CDT until the end of my 3rd form
Richard McDonald (unknown) - he taught French and was housemaster of Mid B until 1993
Adrian Bawtree - current Organist
Mr Kirby - he lived at CH pretty much all of his life didn't he?

Who have I missed out? Can anyone else fill in the gaps?

Yes, apart from WWII, when I believe he was a Major in the signals regiment.

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.

Where was the signals hut?

If memory serves me correctly, it was down by the rifle range near Peele

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.

There is a pic of Deirdre Pallister in 'Old Blue' as she left in 1976, not 1974 as I thoiught.

Now that you mention it, I am sure I remember a Mr Case teaching English in about 77/78

Posted: **Wed Sep 27, 2006 4:38 pm**

which is probably how he knows Dr Maddren and was therefore the Maddrens' best man as well am my parents'...
