ORIGINAL MESSAGE NAME: David Selway-HoskinDATE: 20 October 2004 CONNECTION WITH QE: Pupil 1950s I have slowly been re-establishing contact with school friends, partly through your site and partly via my own website. To the latter I have added a few QE photos although not having a camera at the time, I do not have many images of my school days. You [the webmaster] were in Stapylton but you will know many of the faces in a Leicester house photo I have just put on my website. You are correct about my acting ability, a debut as Calpurnia in JC was a false start to a non-career move. I think I was only picked because my voice broke fairly late. [see notes about the former school mag ]. Despite the bad times as a non-sporting pupil, I have to say that the School had a good effect on my career. Through a contact of Ken Carter's I secured an engineering apprenticeship at Rolls-Royce which stood me in good stead through my engineering career. |

1st REPLY NAME: Stephen GilesDATE: 15 July 2006 CONNECTION WITH QE: Pupil late 50s / early '60s What amazing photos, even after all this time looking at those faces of masters in 1961, when I would have been in the 4th form, makes me shudder. Dozy Dixon is there, we were very unkind to him indeed, and I'm sure with the exception of Tiger Timpson, a revisit by time machine would show that they were mostly good eggs. I'll see if I can remember some faces in the house photo. | ||||
