Hello again Michael, Thanks so much for the details of your web site. It's very crisp and clean and so well put together. Did you produce it yourself? Grenville Wall, who now lives in Finland, and also Dave Keen who lives in Australia, who were both in my form, would love to be able to view it so I have attached their email addresses. Dave sent me some very interesting .jpeg photographs of our school days and I am sure that he would be very happy to share them on your web site. |

I think the only thing I have left from schooldays is one or two exercise books and a few photographs of the Roman artefacts I excavated in the vicarage garden at Little Chester - some are of the display arranged in the hall at school and others within Derby Museum. Never was very good at sports so our geography master (Bert Fossey), arranged with Boss Swaine to allow me carry out the excavation in sports time! Oh yes, I still have the mahogany stool, which was my pride and joy, which I created in the old stable block. | ||

Good old days. I've always been lousy at maths - I can see Pop Hanson now, nodding off, having scrawled what I considered to be garbled rubbish on the black-board. Within 10 minutes he was happily, gently and quietly snoring away. I will try to put down a few memories on paper for you and send with copies of the photographs. I have just completed my 3rd year with Exeter University and gained my Diploma in Archaeology - start in my degree in October. I have attached a copy of a poster produced by English Heritage on my behalf for you interest. It's a copy of an A0 poster for a 3 day international conference at the British Museum about the work I have been doing here in my village. |

| POSTSCRIPT Christine Martin contacted us: "I went to St. Philomena's School for Girls from 1952 through '58 and I remember Trevor Dunkerley. I don't know if he remembers me. I attach a photo. Am in Dallas, Texas." See also Peter Saunders' recollections of St. Philomena's. |
