Thanks.

Will you just look at the length of the hair in the 1971 photo !

Was there a 'barbers-strike' during this time ?

RR - I can see the likeness ! (Titters into coffee-cup !)

D'you mean 1973?

If you think that's bad, you should have seen the seniors at that time!

I think there are a couple of band members I recall in the earlier photo. (Front row along with our illustrious 'Blue' Editor.)

Also think Mullinar is the one and same person who was my Nurse-Maid in Prep B.

I might be wrong on some of these but Mullinar probably was your Nurse Maid and is now working in London, I got in touch with him via Friends Reunited.

Band members were on Bass Drum, Ledeboer, "Joe" Curtis (so named after his brother whose number I inherited), both Brights and Cade, Geoff Neuss (clarinet) and YT (trombone).

Bright and White were named the Star Spangled Sisters by Bill Kirby.

Lamb and Major were at the recent Old Blues Day, heavily disguised,.

Derek Austin is a professional musician with his own web site

Geoiff Bostock lives in France, Geoff Stearn in Australia (I think), others have also gone global.

Mike Roberts will get his name in the Old Blue, for something I can't remember but he wrote to me,.

I was swab to Launcefield (Trades Monitor) and study swab to Robbins, much better than doing trades and you got paid for doing relatively little. I also got to make toast for myself when Robbins was out of the study.

Simms runs the Ridley Society and Matron was famous for saying, " If you don't make your bed better, you and I are going to fall out)

My friend Al Zheimer has just arrived so I will stop.

May I pose a question ?

Why are some of the more 'junior' lads in what I would term, summer-flannel dress ?
