2 wives, 5 children. Still no sense of humour. Played most sports right through to my early 40's (5 back operations over the years - top to bottom of spine. All to good effect!). Still in touch with Tony McElhill (it was his 60th yesterday - which got me thinking about my school days).
Get in touch if you want to have a catch up chat.

Richard Cross
Qualified as an accountant and spent many years in senior positions in companies based in Kent and London including Safeway and BT. Married an ex BGS girl Sue Fogg who has given me 42 years of faithful service (as far as I know!) Play with the OB Golf society who I am surprised I do not see more of mentioned here- I will prompt when we next meet. ( Nick Isom and Graham Godley excused). Met John Collins at the golf last year after 47 years which was a privilege as he was an excellent form master of 5A in 1970. I was Head of Kirkman house in 1972 when we won the house competition for only the second time (Ieuan Evans I believe was the first-credit due!!) when we pipped Collins by one point which I still cannot believe- where is Helen Pretty now? I cannot remember who was more excited when Miss Miller told us- her or us! Great memories of school.
