"Dear Valerie.....Attached is a picture of my Father Richard John (known as
Jack) Drake on duty in the Square sometime between 1951 and 1954.
Despite lots of research I am unable to find the date we moved to Findon. I
believe it could have been springtime in 1951. We left just before I was 10
years old in May 1954.
I have an Autograph book with entries set out below, maybe some of these were
written by teachers or helpers at school:-
26/02/51 G F Calcutt
07/03/51 Mrs Cannon
13/03/51 A Wallis
Mrs Scott
Oct 51 C A Phillimore who I believe was the infant teacher
Feb 54 E F Sheppard
25/02/54 E F Alexander - Head Mistress
05/03/54 H M Shadwick
Fellow pupils:-
Jennifer Duff
Ann
Margaret Long
Brenda Wilkinson
Christine Theocharidis
I also attach a class photograph I am fifth from the right in the middle row,
again not sure of the date but Margaret Long and Brenda Wilkinson are there.
There are other people whose names I recall. It would be interesting to see if
anyone in the photograph remembers me and fellow classmates.
