Re: Richard Slater

Just posting to keep this thread alive as I remember dear Rick and sometimes he still pops into mind, even after all this time. He will only really die when we do. That's really lovely to read. I ended up watching Highway and the Remembrance service from 1989 the other day. Feels like a different w...

Re: Richard Slater

Being called in at break to the chapel. Tongues guessing at what it was. That must have been particularly difficult for Dobbie and Poulton to tell us... And that night someone put candles on the crossing and they burnt all night. Sad times. From my understanding, Poulton was abroad. I think Poulton...

Re: Here's a hypothetical

Really glad to read a follow-up to your initial postings, Lenny. I remember reading them and holding my breath because what you wrote came across as so visceral and impassioned - and chimed with some of my thoughts too. But I wasn't in an emotional place to respond then. ... Big thanks to this forum...

Re: Self Help Group for Survivors of Abuse at CH

Thanks Duncan for sharing this information. I've had a lot of individual therapy (still ongoing), and done my own counsellor training. Both very worthwhile in their different ways. The self-help group last year has been a revelation in communication and sharing with other OBs who experienced abuses,...

Re: Bishop Ball documentary BBC2 2100 TONIGHT

So would Gloucestershire Police be able to say whether Christ's Hospital or an individual connected had written a letter of support for Ball?

Re: Bishop Ball documentary BBC2 2100 TONIGHT

I watched both programmes last night. 2) Whether CH was one of the schools who sent a character reference/letter of support? A brief glimpse of a letter from Cranleigh appears at 53.00 minutes in episode 1. I'm wondering if Gloucestershire Police would disclose this sort of information if you reque...

There's an obituary here in the BMJ but as I'm not a subscriber I can't see it properly.

Re: Bishop Ball documentary BBC2 2100 TONIGHT

I watched both programmes last night.

I'd be interested to know:

1) Who was the contact who first invited or enabled an invitation to be made to Ball for him to become involved at CH?

2) Whether CH was one of the schools who sent a character reference/letter of support?

Re: Dr Jory

Thanks, Mid A 15. I've linked the thread onto the 1990s Leavers group and the CH Support Group. There are Hertford 'girls' on there.

Re: Dr Jory

Hi all, I wonder if any former CH'ers are able to recall Dr Jory at all? If you are able to recall him at CH can you please email me on Charles.derham@verisonalaw.com Many thanks Charles Dr Jory was still at Hertford in 1983-84, two years before the merger. Is there any way of publicising this amon...

She'd have all the answers plus a pair of knitted socks within the hour. In the meantime, never mind Holmes & Watson, Morse & Lewis (or Turner & Hooch), newest kids on the detection block are Otter & Jake 🔎
