Remembering 50 years ago...
Posted: Thu Oct 15, 2020 2:07 am
Fifty years ago I was in my second year at CH.
It had seemed a fairly normal day - getting up, marching to dining hall, breakfast, classes, and so on.
Then in the afternoon my world - and my brother's - was turned upside down when we learnt that our mother had died unexpectedly at home.
Our lives were never the same again.
But CH supported us at such a difficult time, with friends and masters rallying round.
For me it was Chris Nicholson - then a junior master in LHA - who was such a rock.
He was so caring, thoughtful and compassionate, helping me to rebuild my shattered life, and I know that I could never have got through such a terrible personal tragedy without him.
Thank you to everyone at CH who helped my brother (now sadly gone) and myself during that terrible time.
And, although he's no longer with us, thank you in particular to Chris Nicholson.
I will never ever forget how much he supported me during my years at CH and beyond.
