| Reunion in London |
| by Louise Payne ( nee Faraony) |
| I was at the ESC in 1946 until 1948. I have very little recollection of lessons or school life in general but a vivid recollection of being taken there and collected by Abdul and one school sports day of which I have some photos and running in a race which I nearly won until I turned round to see who was following me and someone passed me and won the race ! My parents were laughing and it became a family joke of how I nearly won the race and even more so that I ran like a duck ! I lived on Rue de'Aeroporte in Heliopolis with my parents and grandmother . My father was a doctor at the local hospital. He was Egyptian and my mother was Scottish . My father studied medicine at Edinburgh University where he met my mother and then returned to Cairo to take care of his ailing mother . This is how I came to go to ESG at 5 years old . I note with interest that there is a reunion in London in May 2005 and I am fascinated by this . I live in the UK and I would love to come but know nobody nor am I likely to remember anyone. I was only 5 when I went to the school although I proudly say that I went there . I wonder if anyone remembers my maiden name - Faraony ? |
