Great to hear Dr Sloans doing well, he is a great teacher and its sad that this is his last year.
Just finishing an essay on how "sea level changes associated with late Quaternary deglaciation have influenced coastline systems"... in for tomorrow. Ironically came across this place lookin for photos of the raised beaches I saw 2 years ago! Again - regards to Tommy Sloan.. |

| message contents: | ALISTAIR COOKE KBE Thanksgiving Service at Westminster Abbey 15 October 2004 Through the good offices of David Wallbanks of the Old Boys Association I was privileged to be present at the Thanksgiving Service for Alistair Cooke at Westminster Abbey, representing Blackpool Grammar School. During my years at the Grammar School from 1937, Bill Curnow, an early mentor and later great friend, by then Deputy Head and teaching History and Economics to the Sixth Form constantly sang the praises of Alistair Cooke's exploits and achievments. How right he was - as Alistair Cooke continued in the next 60 years to become the Grammar School's most distinguished Old Boy by his 2,500 plus unique Letters from America, his literary output and his acclaimed TV series"America". The Service in the Abbey was a fine, varied and lively occasion His son read a lesson, his daughter lead prayers and his granddaughter played the violin solo in the Second Movement of Bach's Concerto in A Minor. A favourite Grammar School Assembly Hymn" Immortal Invisible" was sung; Gilbert and Sullivan were well represented and his love of Jazz featured by Jacqui Dankworth singing her version of the Gershwin song" Someone to watch over me". The Service ended appropriately for an American citizen with s stirring rendition of The Battle Hymn of the Repubic. The Dean of Westminster paid tribute to Alistair Cooke for "his unique and powerful contribution to our understanding of America - a man who in his own generation brought understanding and reconciliation". Everyone connected with the Grammar School can be proud of its early and lasting influence on Alistair Cooke and be grateful for his lifetime achievments. Brian Howard |

| message contents: | First- I have changed my e-mail address - you have me on file as rhokebar@cyberus.ca, so please change your address book as above. Second - I am trying to contact an old friend who was at the Collegiate School in the late40's early 50's. She was probably a 1948 starter, her name was Dorothy Potts, father a Methodist minister, she attended Rawcliffe Methodist Church with us. She married an Airforce boy, Dennis Adlam, in 1959, and they had 5 children, each with the initial D - Dawn, David, Dorothea,Denise and Duncan. Dorothy worked at Hawker Aircraft in 1954-57, then moved to Lincolnshire with Dennis. He became a teacher after leaving the RAF. If anyone can put us in touch again, I would be very grateful. Thanks, Keith Rhodes Blackpool Grammar School, 1947 starter |
