Your right Catherine Alan was in the class above us. David sadly passed away last year. I always got mixed up with their cristian names.

God, I didn't notice the date. But he does appear on another picture. Looks like him though. I was at Highfield from 1965 to 1969. Mr Muldoon, do you know of anybody who has any photos from 1968 - 1969? Some of the lads in my year: Cliff Unsworth, Dave Batho, Dave Massey, Granville Hughes, Richard Milady and Karl Kernig.

I remember your Dad. After coming back from the summer term, he had always polished the hall floor that good, you could see your face through it. Great character; he was always busy...
