At the end of August 2002 the company hosting the old guest book withdrew their service without warning users. Fortunately David Brew had saved a lot of the entries, and I have been able to create this page from what he sent to me.  This seems a good place to acknowledge David’s support and enthusiasm for this entire project.  He gave me the initial motivation and has done a wonderful job of keeping me going.  Thanks David!

These entries are in reverse chronological order.  For those of you who skipped English, that means the earliest entries are at the bottom of the page.  I have done a little bit of tidying up and minor editing.

In June 2009 I had time for major updating of the OSC pages. I also collected all the entries from the online Guest Book and added them, neatly formatted, here as a backup, in case they should become lost again. I will probably split this very long page into several shorter ones. I also hope to add extracts from emails between OSC members, suitably edited if necessary.

I’d love to get any feedback on these major revisions. Contact me here.  Now on with the Guest Book. Martin H. Watson, June 2009.


David Brew - 24 Apr 2002

    Martin, you mentioned cross-country running... anyone remember when a small group of us were caught cutting through the Harrow School during our winter's two laps of the Hill?  Sent back to school in shame, left waiting a half hour and then given 50 lines (hey, not so bad!!), except...

      "It is a traditional schoolboy offence but in fairness to my educational sponsors I should avoid the temptation of taking short cuts whilst on cross-country runs". 

    I remember that I managed to squeeze that, legibly, onto a line with space to spare. Learnt the importance of not being caught!.

Nick Wilmshurst - 23 Apr 2002

    Hi everyone. Jerry Geelan put me onto this site and its certainly stirred up loads of memories with me. The only ex-JL person I still see is Pete Clibbens...I guess I see him once or twice a year. Oh, and Dave Sluter too. Me? I live in Chalfont St Peter (with most of the rest of our year it seems!), married, 3 kids and working at the moment in Amersham.

Jeremy Geelan - 23 Apr 2002

    It seems that the numbers are slowly growing: I've just steered Nick Wilmshurst in this direction. Martin, don't forget to send everyone a new URL if ever you move this stuff

Simon Ball - 18 Apr 2002

    To add to the Gus blackboard rubber incident-Peter was usually a star performer in Latin and Gus could rely on a correct answer when everyone else floundered. However, inexplicably on this occasion, when finally asked, he delivered the wrong answer! Gus was beside himself with rage and disbelief and the rubber duly flew across our heads. Pete sensibly raised his desk lid to block the missile, but too late, and it only served to deflect the rubber firmly onto his chin! Gus was instantly transformed from raging to groveling and Pete was offered tea coffee, sweets and any other snacks he desired. In retrospect perhaps we could have gained numerous further concessions.  if only we'd realised......ah well.

David Brew - 16 Apr 2002

    Nigel is right - it was the board duster. He had lifted the lid of his desk when GVS launched his attack... and lowered it in time to get hit on the head. The only time I saw GVS worried ;-)

Nigel Preston - 16 Apr 2002

    My recollection is that GVS hit Peter Bartlett with the board duster - not chalk! A pretty good shot all the same given that he was sitting right at the back of the class.

Martin Watson - 14 Apr2002

    Dave Sluter is a name that I don't recall being mentioned, and it just came into my head, while writing this. I recall him and Nick Wilmshurst collecting the fronts off Camel cigarette packets, and covering most of a 8 foot by 4 foot sheet of hardboard with them in the Red House prefects' room. I remember winning the cross country championship in my last year, crossing the line with Neil Marshall breathing heavily very close behind. I remember at one point in the race, Nick Williams running along side me carrying his shoe which had got stuck in mud. I told him to stop and put it back on. I remember Ted Pearson injuring himself in the race in some way, and about 6 of us visited him in Northwick Park A&E afterwards, taking him lager in the trophy I won. Peter Spracklen is another name that has just come to mind.

    I remember something about John Lynch in 'Twit of the Year' at some school event at which he excelled, but my memory is hazy. Several years ago I was interviewed by a recruitment consultant, who probably started John Lyonat about the time we left, 1975. I've had no other contact since. Between 1976 and 78 Clive Solomon and I worked on two books of pop chart statistics, long before the arrival of the Guinness Books of Hits. Clive had something to do with the band Pulp, I believe. I recall him planning to be a millionaire by 30. It was good to see that Dave Boxhall had found my site, I remember him from being a year above me in the CCF, along with all the names he mentioned who 'signed up'.

    I will try and do justice to the many other contributors, by adding more of my own memories. Does anyone remember GVS throwing chalk at Peter Bartlett in 2A, and giving him money for sweets by way of recompense? At about the same time does anyone remember (sorry to bring this up Vic) Bill Warman launching an inquest into how Victor Glynn's (quote) 'gym pump' ended up in the urinals? I have a great memory of Bill at the Old Boys' Club, one night when I was working behind the bar. He came in and ordered a White Shield Worthington, which I proceeded to tip, sediment and all, unceremoniously into a glass. His face was a picture I still recall to this day, and Alice, my longtime girlfriend loves to hear that story.  I have often thought, over the years, that it was strange that none of my class mates had made it into the public eye, for better or worse. I always imagined Patrick Butler becoming a politician, and I was sure that John Lynch would be a great comedian.

    I created this web page about, I think, two years ago, and today was my first return since! I had totally forgotten about it. I knocked it up between projects at a previous job, following making contact with David Brew, who holds the great honour of being the first entrant. Changing PCs last year caused me to temporarily lose contact with David, and he had to remind me about this page today, as I registered my own domain name, www.martinhwatson.co.uk last Autumn (2001), and the Lyonians page was never transferred. I have maintained both sites since last year, and recently I had been thinking of terminating the Tripod site. If that does happen I will have to be very careful not to lose any of the wonderful memories recalled by my peers, as well as many predecessors and successors.

Michael Perman - 08Apr2002

    Must be something about the Chalfonts (the location not the condition memorably described by Arthur Daly )as I moved there myself with my family some eight years ago not realising I also appear to be neighbours with Tiger Wiggins, Steve Dunning and Nick Wilmshurst - have probably crossed them in the street and not realised !

Simon Ball - 21 Mar 2002

    Wow what a great site! Jez Geelan put me onto the site via Friends reunited.  Unfortunately due to parental choice I left JL in 1970 and found myself deposited in the rural delights of Lincolnshire, so was unable to witness the rest of you (and particularly Roger Williams) growing old disgracefully. For the record, having not troubled the A level examining board and after several years in the Financial Services  Building Society world I joined the family business.

    My details are on the Friends reunited site under 1970. That’s all for now, I'm due at over 40's football in 15 minutes. Look forward to hearing from any of my old friends, and don't forget 'Chelsea for the cup'.

Jeremy Geelan - 16 Mar 2002

    The following section is made up from A WHOLE GROUP OF POSTINGS, SO YOU NEED TO START FROM THE BOTTOM AND WORK YOUR WAY BACK UP TO HERE.  This is due to the original guest book only accepting 20 lines at a time, and Jerry was feeling very nostalgic.

    ...4 years just spent there and back to the European way of life (and standard of living, that's the part they have difficulty with!) My eldest bless him has opted for UK university, so let's see where that takes him - it won't be to Trinity like Paul Chapman and Dave Barnard and Dave Ware and myself (oh and above-mentioned Nehru), but he has of course to make his own life-choices, as befits a modern young man of 18 (is that another record for those of who who left in '75, I'm beginning to think it might be though Nige Preston comes real close).

    I'm amazed that no-one has expressed yet a curiosity to know what has become of Simon Rainey and Ash Reed, let alone of Jerry Upton and Dave Marlow and Pete Bartlett and John Lynch...apologies for everyone I'm leaving off that quick checklist, I'm running out of time so it's just off the top of my head. (Les Holland, Dave Clibbens, Gerry Lopez...)

    Jeremy Geelan - 16 Mar 2002...

    Talking of gifted and inspiring individuals, Ian Whybrow's dog-books have dutifully been read to each new child, and if you haven't tried them you ought to. Preferably in hardback, as Jonathan Cape published the original title quite beautifully. Okay I better leave it at that.  My SYS-CON Media duties take me far and wide just now, though not as far and wide as Vic by the sound of it. I managed to fly backwards and forwards between USA and Europe every month last year, when not dashing off to India (where, somewhat implausibly, I gave an opening keynote address to a technology conference at the very impressive Nehru Centre) or Korea (with which I fell in love though I was there only for two days). But the kids were unhappy with all this gallivanting so I'm mostly Copenhagen-based just now - Kirsten is Danish, for those who don't know what part of the story (and yes these little Geelans are all duly bilingual, for what it's worth). I'm not sure I like it, but they seem to.  Really they like the USA best of all, but we're trying to wean them off

Jeremy Geelan - 16 Mar 2002

    Poor old Steve Dunning and his family in Little Chalfont have more or less been my home from home over the last decade, all of which has been spent outside the UK. But now I know that Tiger's moved to Chalfont St Peter, he'd better watch out! (How in the hell are you?) As for the Roger Williams thing, I hardly know what to say - anyone who could accept my singing in the Motet Choir must be called brave, so it is upsetting to say the least to hear that his escutcheon is blotted: the man was a genius, a musical genius, I'm simply not qualified to make any kind of moral pronouncement: to me he will simply remain that, a gifted and inspiring teacher (so flame me why don't you) clearly I have now to accept that for others he wasn't that at all and has betrayed a position of trust--but I can only speak from experience and mine was all good).

Jeremy Geelan - 16 Mar 2002

    ...of them BTW, measuring my wealth in the time-honoured way: through counting my children, of whom my wife and I seem over the years to have generated four (does that mean I hold some kind of record in this list, I wonder?) You can do the maths: 4 kids keep you dirt-poor, no matter how much you earn. Which is very humbling, and therefore no bad thing at all. For those of you who don't know the fairy tale, the mother of the kids (Kirsten) and I met - along with Steve Ashmore, Neil Everatt, Adam Mears and Jerry Weisenfeld, as a matter of fact - in northern Galilee, on a kibbutz we all converged on back in 1976 despite only Jerry being Jewish and there being nigh-on a nasty Arab-Israeli war on, with Phantom jets looming over the Golan Heights just nearby, sometimes on a daily basis as they swept into Lebanon to warn any would-be miscreants that Israel meant business. (Plus ca change.)

Jeremy Geelan  16 Mar 2002:20:38:06

    For observers of synchronicity, what can it possibly betoken that - after losing this darned URL for 4 months after Paul Chapman had kindly tracked me down - I should happen to find it again THE VERY WEEK THAT VIC GLYNN SURFACES from the woodwork. Very scary. (Only kidding, Vic. How's tricks?).   ...Keep this initiative going, Martin. And sorry, Paul, for losing that. I couldn't possibly bore anyone with tales of past decades but suffice it to say I still earn my living mobilizing the English language and sending into battle, most recently from the USA - where all nine magazines of which I have the dubious honour of being editorial director deal, what else, with Internet technology. A quizzical sociologist and anthropologist trapped in a technological world, I remain mystified by a world in which what seems to me to be a moderately good idea socially (QED) is elevated to ever-increasing heights commercially, often in the absence of any tangible return on investment. 

    But ROI lack didn't seem to trouble the dot-com boomers - I'm not one of them BTW,

Victor Glynn - 15 Mar 2002

    sorry too verbose  ...what I went on to say was that surely someone has achieved some notoriety or distinction by now - Peerage, Knighthood, Cabinet Post or some time in Ford or Belmarsh (pace R.Williams Esq)?

Victor Glynn - 15 Mar 2002

    Blimey. Dave Brew contacted me through my brother Chris. What scary memories all these names bring. I have lived in Oxford for the past twenty years though my work as a film producer has taken me all over the place in particular to Australia, the US and Argentina. I have three children, Katie (18), Phin (16) and Hattie (13).They are all brilliant (of course) and must I assume take after their mother who sadly died three years ago. I occasionally meet Old Lyonians through my work - Timothy West (1950's), Michael Bogdanov (1950's), Paul Knight (1960's) and MichaelFoster, who I think joined the school in 1969. Michael is a nauseatingly successful Actors' Agent (Hugh Grant to name but one). I occasionally bump into Simon Rodgers who still lives in Pinner. A couple of years ago I met Keith Goozee who I believe is an Actor these days. Ian Whybrow is of course a very successful children's author these days. I look forward to hearing other peoples' news from this website which is a great resource.

Nigel Preston - 14 Mar 2002

    Some more names in no particular order: Simon Rainey, Ashley Reed, Peter Bartlett, Paul Madge, Dave Marlow,

Nigel Preston - 14 Mar 2002

    It was real interesting to come across this site - keep it going.  Seeing Tiger Wiggins and John Melling below reminded me of the moment when in, I think Lower VI Physics, Tiger uncovered the fact that Dave Philpotts middle name was Louis.  I think the last time I met anyone from JLS was when I came across Chris Glynn in the Everyman theatre in Liverpool, I think he wasworking there and Jez Geelan in Debenhams in Harrow - not working though. Anyway, for those that are interested, I completed six years at Liverpool University and have spent most of my working life in the automotive industry. I've been with Motorola for the last 10 years with stints in the US and now Munich, where I'm Director of the European Design Centre. Also 3 children 13, 10 -&- 4.

Chris Glynn - 13 Mar 2002

    Steve Langridge (1981)showed me the Friends Reunited website.  I met Ian Whybrow at the Swansea Children's Lit Festival in 2000. He's written two series of successful children's books - Little Wolf & Harry and the Robots. Naturally neither of us had changed all! Brother Victor (1973)lives near Oxford.  Memories of carving holes in the Red House walls in the tuck shop queue with GVS words echoing in my head "Make your mark..."..but the rest is...fading......

Michael Heryet - 27 Feb 2002:19:02:47

    Hi have just found this site of Friends United. Had difficult in tracking the school as it is listed as The John Lyons School. In my day it was always The Lower School of John Lyon, Harrow! Anyway I was at LSJL from '53 to '60 so pre-dated most of you guys. Are any of you members of the Old Boys? Some of the Teachers names are familiar to me But it was mostly people like Phil Davies (and I agree the blackboard duster accuracy) "Sammy" Cowtan, Gordon Surtees, Gordon Blythe, et al.  If there is anyone of my era out there who remembers me I put my profile on the friends site so look me up.

    BTW Good site.

Peter Watson - 04 Feb 2002

    Having just discovered this system I am sad to see there is no one from my era - 1958 to 66 (I think). I was surprised to see so many of the old staff still surviving. I still live in Harrow but seem to have met no one I remember - perhaps we have all changed too much! I believe I still hold the detention record and probably still owe several as I averaged more than one a week. I failed all my A levels but am now a lecturer. I have four children who did not inherit my lazy gene so I have a Doctor, a tax inspector, a nurse and a potential second doctor. It would be nice to hear from anyone from my era or if any events at the school or the old boys club are planned.

John Melling - 23 Jan 2002

    Hello there everyone.  This is scary being reminded of those schooldays gone by. Lots of names are familiar. It's like opening a long-sealed vault in the brain. I left John Lyon and went to Warwick University (with Lionel Wiggins and Nick Wiiliams!) then went into telecomms and until recently was a software manager. I am married with two children 17 and 10 (+dog rabbit guinea pig!) Looking forward to hearing from anyone who may (or may not) remember me. Surprised to read some of my teachers are still at the school - thought they'd have had enough of teaching after what we put them through!

Rob Steen - 20 Jan 2002

    How good to bump into you all after all these years! I'm from a more junior vintage - joined in 1969 - but so many names remain familiar. used to live around the corner to Jeremy Weisenfeld in Stanmore and am still friendly with Jon Osterweil, a latecoming member of the Class of 68, as well as classmates Andy Woodend and Ian Reed (aka The Swot Gang).  Toyed with the idea of living on "The Hill" before taking a proper leap - to Cornwall, where I write, lecture and help bring up three bouncing bairns. My memories of the old place are fond - Rodney Mearns remains arguably the nicest teacher I've ever met. And "Scorcher" got me through my Maths A-level. And Roger W briefly drew some melodic sounds from me before my voice broke - the crack in the music school window was testimony to his temper, or so I was once told.

    Oh, and a special mention for Clive Solomon if he's out there - thanks a grillion for helping me discover the godlike genius of Todd Rundgren... Good luck to you all.

Brian Robins - 25 Dec 2001

    Left in 1968 at the end of the 5th year, only a couple of 'O' levels, the old careers master said I wouldn't get a job!!! After an engineering apprenticeship at BOAC I have been to most of the world and am now a Director of an Aviation Consultancy Company. So much for not getting a job. Anyone from the year of 1968 for the thickos or 1970 for the bright buggers, I would like to hear from you.

Angus Mathie - 02 Dec 2001

    God, a real blast from the past! Lots of names that I thought I had forgotten - in retrospect I always thought that Roger Williams was bit strange. I remember his bloody awful temper and the fact that quite a few boys idolised him (which I am sure he loved....). Still, I can also remember Phil Davies and his laser-guided board rubbers and Paddy Mearns on the "cabbage patch" with his wellies on. I drove through Middle Road the other day and the place hadn't changed that much at all, particularly the Red House. What really shocked me was that theKing's Head at the top of the Hill had closed - where else was I going to get ten No 6 and a pint of bitter for less than 50p?

    Anyway, despite GVS' misgivings and his warning when I left thatI "would never get a commission" I have been in the Army for over 20 years and have reached the dizzy heights of Lieutenant Colonel - hopefully he spun in his grave over that one. In fact I've never got over the shock of being given the keys to armoury.

Gary Grant - 19 Oct 2001

    Great website - it brings back nostalgic memories. I left John Lyon in 1987 and eventually recovered to become a practising criminal barrister. I heard that Michael Lewis, the Maths teacher, went off to teach at UCS in Hampstead and David Dixon - the headmaster who left in sexual intrigue went to Bishop Stortford boarding school.

David Brew - 14 Oct 2001

    Good to see more Old Lyonians appearing here.

Dave Boxhall - 11 Oct 2001

    Got here via FR. Left in 74. Brother Phil left in 76. Fond memories of "Nunky Vernon" - did he ever wash that coat? Other names I bump into occasionally: Pete Cross, Phil Sturtivant, Paul Carter, Malcolm Nurick, Rob Bright. Joined Army from school and still in.......sad.  Married (is it really 20 years this year) 2 great kids ( I have to say that they might read this)

Ravi Mark Bery - 07 Oct 2001

    My recollections of JL are vague and getting more so. Unfortunately have not kept in touch with anyone but do recognise names that are registering

Nigel Chism -  07 Sep 2001

    I knew this web thing would come in useful. Got here via the friendsreunited.com site which is amazing. I still see John English and Nick Baulch from time to time and hear about Jon Jones - even though I haven't seen him for over 20 years! Can't believe it's coming up to 30 years since I left.  Re. Williams - I am not surprised as he was supposedly intimate with some I remember. Good to hear about Whybrow who certainly saved me academically.

Benjamin Ellis - 04 Sep 2001

    Wow! A lot of teacher names I recognise, which is scary, since I was there from about 1981 to 1988... www.friends-reunited.co.uk seems to have a pretty full list of folks from my year now (about 50% I think!).  Would be good to hear from anyone who knew me.

Michael Perman - 30 Aug 2001

    I have just stumbled across your very excellent website and would like to extend very best wishes to anyone who remembers me. It is nice to see so many familiar names from 1969 to 1973 crop up, including Dave Brew's   . We were at Harrow Tech together many years ago after we left the school and lost touch. I sincerely hope everyone from our year has enjoyed success and happiness through the years. I am "gobsmacked" to hear about Roger Williams having been in the Motet choir and made many travels with it.

Richard Gerrard - 28Aug 2001

    The name of the English teacher who died playing squash was Kim Bruce- Lockhart. The "Billingham" in Solomons' year was called Dave Billington. Ian Whybrow writes successful children’s' books now, I think.

Paul Easton - 19 Jun 2001

    Gosh, a few names and memories here!! I was at John Lyon 1965-1972, and I stumbled across this site via a link elsewhere and it's been fascinating reading. I was certainly amazed to read about Roger Williams - and to think I considered him to be one of my great musical mentors. It makes me shudder now. What a letdown!!!  Anyway, I'd be interested to hear from others in my year - I think we've got a lot of catching-up to do!

Jonathon Solomons - 14 Jun 2001

    Nice to see an old boys site...I was there from 76 till about 81, about the time they got a school goat, Paddy Mearns took us for football whilst playing wearing wellingtons, I forget the English teachers name who died whilst playing squash, we had Dick Dudzinski as a trainee chemistry teacher who blew up the lab, and I think I still have a couple of those school photos that are really wide, and always have a couple of blokes with uncontrollable hair in!

    Names from my years I guess were John Tapley, Mark Culloty, Mark Woodbridge, Richard Jones, Gregory Rubens, Andrew Stewart, Tony Gilling, ??? Granston, ??? Billingham?, Adrian Windsor, Doug Chisholm, Richard Edwards, Andy Hostler, ???? Penfold, Clinton Sprague, ???? Armitage, ??? Cowan, Simon Frost, Alan Richardson. Anyone know what happened to Mr Read (Geography), Mr Mearns (English), and Mr Irvine (French).

Nick Meredith - 13 Jun 2001

    Hello from another ex-Lyonian. I was there 71-78 - so recognise quite a few of the staff names from the front page. The missing name in "? French" I think was Roger. My last contact with the place was about 10 years ago, when I went to GVS's funeral at Malvern. Quite a few staff from the 70s there. I gathered that GVS had been hit hard by the Lloyds insurance collapse.

Jon Sinclair - 12 Jun 2001

    Hi guys. Dave Brew put me onto this website. (Both keen Watford FC fans - still!) I live in Radlett (Herts.) Married with 2 children aged 9 and 6.  Work for an Insurance company on the IT side

Lionel 'Tiger' Wiggins - 30 May 2001

Hello everyone.  Paul Chapman tracked me down and forwarded the 1969 school picture.As I was saying, a few more names to add, Adam Mears, John Melling, Graham Curbishley, Simon McLauchlan (?), Alistair Christie, John Sinclair.  I myself after graduating from Warwick, joined a company called AGB which has now moved on to being Taylor Nelson Sofres, the largest market research company in the UK. I have now done 23 years service. I am married with a daughter Emily, aged 3 1 2, and now live in Chalfont St Peter. I am still keen on golf, member at Sandy Lodge (where GVS used to play if I remember correctly) and continue to beinvolved with Uxbridge Squash Club.  My best wishes to whoever may read this

Paul Chapman - 21 May 2001

Heaven forbid I should defend a convicted child molester. Roger Williams certainly had a temper: I remember one had to steer well clear if he turned up to school with his shoes shined. A few more names: David Ware, Steve Macari, Peter? Watkins (started later on)  And I realised that Jerry Wisenfeld's name is spelt thus, without the 'e', since he was always last in the register, even in 1A which I have remembered also included Ware, Watson (your good self), Wiggins and Williams. (and Wilmshurst -ed).

Simon Henry - 15 May 2001

How anyone could adore Roger Williams, he was the ultimate bully.  I was interested to read that list of guys in 72 3 alpha class. I noticed Steve Ashmore's name there. I was particularly friendly with his brother Rob who started in the same year as me i.e. 1965. I lost contact with him years ago so if anyone has any info about him or anyone else in my year I'd be pleased to know.

Paul Chapman - 18 Mar 2001

    I heard a couple of years ago that Roger Williams had been put away for sexual abuse, apparently dating to our time at the school and including victims we knew then. This saddens me greatly, as he is the teacher who had most influence on me, and was adored by members of 1A, the Motet Choir and my music O-level group.  The only Lyonians I am still in touch with are from the year above ours: Dave Ziemann and Paul Merrick; the latter alerted me to your page. I might go hunting on the net for some of the names on my list. I'll let you know.

    Very witty site title!

Paul Chapman - 18 Mar 2001

    Nearly a year up and only four names (including yours and mine).

    For some reason, I still have a complete roll-call in my head of the 1972-3 5-alpha class. I knew it would come in useful one day. It adds nine new names () to your list. Steven Ashmore, David Barnard, Peter Bartlett, Patrick Butler, Paul Chapman, Peter Clibbens, Colin Dunstan, Neil Everatt, Jeremy Geelan, Leslie Holland, Gerald Lopez, John Lynch, Paul Madge, David Marlow, Robert Morris, Nigel Preston, Simon Rainey, Ashley Reed, Simon Rogers, David ('Jim') Smith, Barry Thorne, Christopher Upton, and Jeremy Weisenfeld.

    I visited John Lyon unannounced 2 or 3 years ago. I was shown around by Scorcher (Simmons - no 'd'), who got lost in the corridors of the new buildings. He's head of maths now, which I would classify as child abuse.  I also met Brian Holgate (now head of science and teaching physics) and Dave Philpott (now part-time), and was told that Ian Whybrow and Pete Saunders still taught there. 

Neil Marshall - 12 Jul 2000

    An interesting idea, Martin, I hope there is some more response. School days seem (were!) a long time past and this comes as something of a surprise. But why not? I'm living in Croydon teaching Biology. Spent 3 years in South America in the 80's. Into skiing as often as I can, half marathons and surfing. My brother - Peter Marshall - lives in Colorado, USA.

David Brew - 18 Apr 2000

    I would never have set up a page like this but I'm really glad that that you have, Martin. I hope we can contact some old friends again after a VERY long time. Well done.
