Old Blues on the doorstep
Posted: Sat Oct 21, 2006 7:03 pm
Hello eveybody!
I'm a first timer on this site--joined yesterday and just been figuring out how it all works!
I was at CH '63-'68, Prep B, Ba.B, La.B and by pure coincidence in conversation the head of music at local comm school and fellow church member unbeknown to me is an Old Blue--we chatted and he said the local minister is an OB also (this chap was at school with me!) and unbeknown to me he conducted the marriage service (extremely well) of my daughter a year ago!--how many more OB's are living in the Lizard area of West Cornwall I wonder? Incidentally both these chaps mentioned above are really good characters which hopefully reflects a good start in life at the old school!
I left in '68 and unfortunately lost all contact with many good friends as the years went by--marriage, kids,career etc.. and the loss of my Dad (also an OB-left in '29)who was the one to stay an active member during his life and I could always poach his OB magazines!.
If there is anyone out there who remembers me at school (nothing outstanding I'm afraid) it would be great to chat and hear how life has worked out. I have recently taken early retirement from a 30year career in the NHS and now practice as a freelance Family and Systemic Psychotherapist. A little more time now and less stress!! to do things like this.
Look forward to hearing from anybody.
Mike King.
