Hi Philip, I used ti live on Euston Road and new John Shearing very well used to knock abouy with him after we left school as well, any idea what happened to him.

Hi Stan, John now lives in Filby.  I went to a reunion with him in september, also John Lawson, they both came to my 70th along with (Chumley) David Nicholls,  also met Gerald Bunn there.                         David  Ward

Hi David

Thanks for that if you see him again please remember me to him, we get down to Yarmouth at least once a year just to have a look at the old place. I have just turned 73 , we must all be getting on a bit now of course.

Stan Waters

To all the 1940s priory boys from Colin Browne. Received sad news that Cyril Thompson passed away this week very suddenly . Itis very sad that it has taken so many years for all of us to meet up as from the age of 15 years until the age of 70 years plus. We did start a reunion if you all recall but it just fell apart ? I did look forward to our get to togethers and was pleased to hear some said the same  Cyril was a great help in passing out information on the dates of the reuions 

As I have said in the past we are all ageing so do not leave it to late  to meet your old priory school mates good luck to all keep safe and well.

Hi Philip yesI do remember you , I also went to the Priory and then the Tech High. I mode to Birmingham at the age of 19 and 26 years later moved to the south of Spain where I am still living and working.

Hi All - I remember all of the teachers named in your notes, also David Warner, Eric Lewis, and students such as Barry Hudson, Charlie Dowson, Minnie Jarvis, Stan Waters, David Porter, Colin Burns, John gay, too many to recall. Great days, many memories, all good - no money but plenty of enjoyment.

Barry Noble 

Hello Barry

I remember, in several art/craft lessons, building a Norman Castle out of card with Barry, in Mr Kitchener's class (J3?). Was that you Barry Noble? Mr Kitchener was a great teacher. I'm John George, skinny, dark hair, a bit quiet.

If it was you, drop me a line.

John

Hi All, I remember both Barry and John, good to know you are still OK. It is nice to hear about the old days at Yarmouth, I still return once or twice a year as I only live near Spalding these days. It was a long drive from Devon where we lived for many years. We visited last September and went to Caister church where we were married 50 years ago, 50 years to the day. We are planning to go again next month, another trip down memory lane.

Hi All - I remember all the names, would probably recognise the faces, but certainly remember the events - they were great days, none of us had anything of value except the friendships and fun, all of which was self generated - I look at today's youngsters and wonder where it has all gone wrong?

Hope you all are well and still enjoying life! Take care!

Hi Barry Noble,

I think you are my dad's cousin Robin Shearing.

Tonight he has  been trying to remember the name of the sweet shop opposite the Nelson School ? Can anyone help, do you remember my Uncle Leslie Shearing he still lives in Caister.
