| Hello again |
| by Amr Barrada |
| Hello again Charles I apologize myself for not writing sooner. I have a foto that's very similar to the you describe, but you're not in it. It was probably taken around 1951. Everyone had his or her own desk. The boys appearing in the picture are clive gibson, hagenar, sherif rifaat, lutfi sherbini, lawrence pritchard, blackmore, and myself, and some of the girls from front to back are mary woodliffe, charlotte chapman-andrews, gida hayes, and hoda marie. I have several other pictures. I can identify most of the people in them, such as clive gibson, tony finn, george vayanos, freddy saad, aris dimopoulos (who used to teach me how to swear in greek), joe buhagiar, psaltis, capridis, mickey sharpe, eddie eid, moussaad, and lots of women, including laila thabet, tahira hussain, amira taher, my cousin zizette, nadia hamdi, and honore de boucher. Everybody looks so young and smiling. Those were happy times, unless you were caned by beard or horrocks (we use to call him "horrors") or a prefect (one of them used to say "We shall not tolerate any more insubordination" with a loud booming voice). Perhaps we can puruade mohamed hamza to cllect many of these pictures and make a book out of them. The south of england is far from minnesota, where I have been for 45 years. At 66 I'm still going strong, treating people who have emotional problems. Are you still working? Ciao. Amr Barrada |
