Oh yes we did! - and I still remember, and think of her, to this day.AKAP wrote:(You must realise we went to an all boys school, we didn't know there was such a thing as girls.)
She taught me a lot... probably more than I learnt in the classroom.

I didn't realise you were Steve's brother. I remember Steve well but can't remember him leaving early. He was a good friend of Graham's (thought of Graham the other day, as his uncle was Peter Osgood, who's death at a family funeral hit the newspapers recently.)
Steve introduced us to chip butties (we had never thought of putting chips in a snadwich before.)
Did look Steve up on the web the other month, I was very puzzled abouth phenomics (or however you spell his speciality area.)
I'm sure more memories will come back with time. Must edit the list of names with Howard's update.
I didn't realise that Steve was your brother.

Steve will be relieved to know that he is to be remembered for introducing Mid B to chip butties (forget the contribution to English literary criticism). I'm intrigued by this...my children also eat chip butties. I blame our thoroughy working class background and a father from Liverpool, who sadly died in 1972, the year in which the photo was taken. and just a few months after Steve left CH, following the unfortunate cannabis episode. I read it in the Telegraph at Hertford, before I realised my own brother was involved. Does no one have any recollection of it? I'm sure there were others whose Ch careers also came to an untimely end?AKAP wrote:Hello Maureen

I don't remember the cannabis incident, (probably pre-senile dementia, or senile dementia more likely) it obviously didn't knock his acedemic career off course. There were other cannabis incidents and expulsions the detals of which I can't remember either.Maureen Connor wrote: Steve will be relieved to know that he is to be remembered for introducing Mid B to chip butties (forget the contribution to English literary criticism).

Was he related to Phyllis? she was at Hertford 65-70 or thereabouts.Michael wrote:Think I can add a few more names to the photo:
Top row - from right to left - Skinner, Sealtiel, Agnew,Powell,Searing
Next to Keith Stratton is Jimmy Chuang - who sadly died in a house fire many years ago - can't remember when.
Bottom row - ?, Ray Chatlani, Baker, McDaid, Burgess, ?,?, Nick Rawlings, Ruper Lane, ?, Baker
Think that is right....
Now you mention it I think he may have had a sister at Hertford.englishangel wrote:Was he related to Phyllis? she was at Hertford 65-70 or thereabouts.
In fact I was in Hunt B, not Maine A, but I can see how the confusion arose: my best friend at that time, the late Edgar Newman, was in Maine A and I probably spent a vast amount of time there with him, developing our intricate private mythology.AndrewH wrote:Rex was a year ahead of me in Maine A, so would have moved on in the summer of '72
