I had a very welcome call this afternoon from Roy Hart, who may possibly be the last remaining pupil from 1938, our school’s first year. Roy phoned to thank me for sending him my spare copy of the 1943 school magazine. We had a wonderfully lively conversation in which he remembered many of his peers and also the teachers.
Roy tells me he is still looking after himself and still driving, just 16 months away from reaching his century. He has been trying to learn the trumpet for several years and now, with the help of an online tutor, he feels he is making some progress.
What a fine example for the rest of us.
Here is a photo taken at the start of the school cross country race in 1942. Roy is third from the left.
