I

touch.

Hello
Gary,
Here's a
photo of yours truly and Gordon Steele meeting up for a drink in the Three
Horse Shoes. We have not seen each other for over 45 years; a fact which
disappeared in five minutes. Nearly three hours later we parted having
covered all that had happened to us in those intervening years.
Thank to
all the staff at the Horse Shoes for food and drinks and looking after us
very well. Thanks also to the young gentleman, whose name I did not get, who
took the photo but chiefly thank you Gary for running the site which makes
these things possible.
Feel
free to airbrush Gordon and me back to our former glory.
Best
regards
Dave

Hi Gary,
Just to
let you know, the above reunion took place yesterday in the Three
Horseshoes.
As David said in his email to me this morning, the years just rolled back!
All forty odd of them.
It just shows what an excellent idea the web site was on your behalf, two
old school friends meeting up after such a long time. A brilliant afternoon
spent "chewing the fat", reminiscing, good beer & food. We are going to keep
in touch with one another.
Question. Does anyone else out there remember a relief head teacher at St
Paul’s by the name of Mr. Moran? This was at a time when Mr Balmforth was in
hospital. This would be in 1955. He was a dark haired chap who wore glasses,
always smartly dressed, as was the order of head teacher. Perhaps you have
in your records some knowledge of him ----- or am I the only one!!!! Even
David couldn't recall him. Once again, thanks very much for part in bringing
David & I back together.
I hope
that others will take the opportunity to contact other long lost friends.
WELL
DONE GARY!!
Best
regards Gordon Steele Walton.
