Re: Andrew Porter, RIP
I was interested to read the claim that Andrew might have been the only Geography Button Grecian in the 20th Century, I can certainly claim to have been another in 1966 and went on to Pembroke, Oxford with an award. I just managed to be taught by John Shippen who sent me a list of about 10 others fr...

Re: The Housey Hotspots, etc
When I read of the dance being referred to as a "fixture" I recall that they were presented in the school calendar as such rather like cricket matches. The memory brought a wry smile to my face and sweet memories!! Horsham High school and swapping the i for the o etc.

Re: J H Page
This all gets very intriguing as I'm told that Mary Macnutt (Carol's mother) was at the funeral, which unfortunately I could not go to. Is she an active centenarian?

Re: Long careers of C.H. Masters
I think Ron Lorimer was a master at CH for 34 years (1958 to 92) - he had had a year in Madison Wisc. and at the LCC school near Ipswich we heard before coming to CH. Those with war service obviously had reduced length careers but A Rider must be up there in span and didn't he then teach at Hertford...

Re: More sad news
I went to Ron's memorial service yesterday in the delights of Chiddingstone church - built of greensand rather appropriately. Knew he went to Judd but not that he was brought up on a farm there. Two superb tributes from John Shippen and Frank Pattisson that as you would expect captured the essence o...
