Clare Park School

A Memory of Farnham.

I am Leslie Harlan Bourgoin, and I remember changing at the Farnham train station each morning to board the school coach bound for Clare Park. My sister Mary Lynn and I were American girls who lived in Farnborough in the early 1960's while our father was a USAF exchange officer there. My parents were Gene and Jean Harlan.
We attended Clare Park as day girls and loved to go into Farnham with our parents to visit the shops. I was friends with Wendy Monday who lived in Farnham. Our family friends were Bernard and Marjorie Lawley. I now live in Seattle and will be in the UK in October of 2008. I would love to contact CPark girls.

Hi Leslie, I remember you, only I knew you as just Leslie Harlan. I am Pat Huddart, I was a day girl from Crondall for a while, but became a boarder when my folk went to Brunei. Some of my classmates were Katie and Liz Garrett, Jennifer Jones,Penelope Viney, Penny Lipscombe. Do you remember any of them
I went to Clare Park School twice as my father Robert Kelman was the engineer for the Sydney Opera House glass walls. I attended through the 1960's my name was Eve Kelman now Kelman-Jones. Married a Jones and divorced. I now live in Australia. My friends were Sandra Gidley, Jane Glynn, Monica Whyatt, Celia Keyworth year above me but close neighbour where we lived in Farnham. There were two other Eves in our class Eve Thompson and Eve Williams I think. I would love anyone to contact me who went there. I think Hilary Reeves went there too, I was best friends with her from preparatory Church House School in Farnham. My FB page is Eve Kelman-Jones. I think you can send a message but not friend request as I only join people I know, I will of course add anyone from school. Thank you Eve.
