1961 & 1962
The years were 61 and 62. I was the son of an American Serviceman stationed at the Air Base. My father chose to send me to the local elementary school. I was a tan kid from Florida starting the 1st grade In England! My parents would laugh as they heard my speech change and I become one of the local kids. My first grade teacher was Mrs. Hunt. I used to play at a place called "The Rec". It was a magical time in my life and the primary education I recieved there was of great advantage to me. I hope to return someday for a visit.

RE: RE: 1961 & 1962
I remember the Americans living in Melton Constable, I was friends with most of them. My first grade teacher was Miss Hunt, and then Mrs Emery, head master was Mr Thorn. I played on the 'rec with the stream with a little bridge, and the big trees what kids climbed. I still live here.
