Lennard's

A Memory of South Ockendon.

Hi my name is Peter McGuire and i went to Lennard's from 1960 to 1965 My class was in upper 4A in the science lab at the back of the school. The teacher was Farrier (not sure of spelling) who left us in our year of GCE's . It may seem strange but he was always smoking during our science classes . We had 2 english teachers a MIss Smith and a Mrs . Smithh, completely different style of teaching. Mrs. Smlith more into school plays. I did Shakespeare's Henry V in my last year. I was a school prefect and had the job of checking late arrivals. Most of which came from the Aveley estate,. Dennis Gee was always late because of the bus he caught. As he was in my class we never booked him.. When school friends was up and running I was in touch with several old class mates, most of which like me had left the country. I now live on Phillip Island (the home of the little penguins) Victoria Australia.. John Babbage lives in West Australia, and Colin Blythe in New Zealand, I would be grateful if anybody can recall those bygone years.
