This letter was emailed to all the Old Centaurs I could find on the internet over the weekend of February 12/13th, 2005. Anyone may yet respond to this. Dear Old Centaur, DERBY CENTRAL SCHOOL INTERNET PROJECT Please forgive the formality of a general letter from one Old Centaur to all the other Old Centaurs I can find on the internet. Like me you will have a great fondness for those days when the mansion sat resplendent over the vista of Darley Park, or the earlier days of the more forbidding red brick edifice of Abbey Street School. I know that Old Centaurs meet and gossip in Derby every month – keeping the dream alive. But there is almost nothing available on the internet to commemorate those times of comradeship. So I have set off on a venture to do something about that and would love your help. Take a visit to www.mbuss.com/central.htm and you will see what I have accumulated to date. This is still very much my view and my memories – but I would like these to be lost in a welter of other recollections and pictures from other Old Centaurs. HOW CAN YOU HELP?
That’s it! We are an ever diminishing band. But I believe that the internet is a wonderful way to make the things that mattered so much to us available to our children and grandchildren. PLEASE try to share in this project as fully as possible. And Thank You – in anticipation! Michael Buss (1953/58) Celer et Certus! |
