Hi Ken I have only just started using this forum , just became a member.I think you may be a year or two older than me. I `m 59 , name is John Bowman. I have after all these years just contacted the guy above Michael Potts a class mate from the same period. I remember Froggy and Ganny Reay as well as the teachers above . I`ve been living in Canterbury for the last 25 years. I occasionally go back to Bedlington to see family and friends .....big changes over the years. I can remember a few guys that were a few years in front of me ....Stephen Locker , Alan Charlton ( I think ) , there was a Susan Lindsey , Janice Furlong . Here`s wishing you all the best
