John Snow was a slightly older contemporary of mine, also in Thornton B. Even at school he was a cricket prodigy. Peta H. must have been a bit intellectual for him.

I remember Peta Hutchins,very well. As a junior I had a 'crack' on her and we became sort of friends (her family lived in a village outside Bognor, not far from us in Arundel, and as they did not have a car and we did, my parents sometimes brought hers up to Hertford for Long Saturdays or whatever, and we sometimes saw each other in the holidays. My adolescent 5-year diary makes excrutiatingly embarassing reading on the subject!). Peta was also friendly with (the celebrated) John Snow who was at that time a Housey boy - the son of the vicar of Bognor. In the end my mother decided she did not approve of my friendship with Peta so when she left CH to go to York University (I think....to read English), we lost touch. I would love to know what happened to her.
But who was Peta's lookalike?
