Hi Bob. Did not go to St Johns School but in St Johns Scout Group. St Johns had the distinction of having the very first Air Scouts in the British Isles and I was its first Patrol Leader. Always had leanings to the Navy but found what I was given to teach the patrol second nature. From there I joined the ATC where they took me to Blackpool, sat me in a Flight Simulator (Link Trainer then) which I immediately flew. The CO sent me, at his expense, to train at Blackpool every week. That's how I became a pilot. Nice to remember all this. Frank Sanderson

I remember you. A year below me. I have missed a dot from Barry's address, which should read:-
[email protected]

I have sent one to Barry, and copied it to you.

Barry has thought of this. He has two addresses , one of which is 'secret' The object of posting this one is to publicise and encourage. It is not causing him to lose sleep.

I went there in the early 1950's, and I believe the Mother's Union was centered there. Don't know how many years - I think it must have been nursery school because I transferred to Peel Park for a year or two before we emigrated to the U.S. in 1954.

Does anybody remember the teacher, Evelyn Bury at St. John's? She became a friend of my mother's, and they corresponded across the Atlantic for many years. We lost track of her in the late 1960s, I think. Mrs. Bury was an ardent pacifist, and she was associated with Lord Bertrand Russell's activism against nuclear weapons. I believe she knew him. I'd love to find somebody who recalled her and/or knows something about her family. I believe she had a daughter named Nancy.

All very hazy recollections.
