Hi Lyn,
This is Terry Newis. Second cornet player. Wonder what happened to mr Hepburn (Wally) the music teacher. I can't understand why such a new school building was discontinued after such a short time. I went back there about five years ago and looked at the buildings for old times sake. V.sad.
Of course I remember you John. Especially your tale of how you failed one of your exams due to a heavy cold and had to use the paper as a hankerchief.Hi Terry,
Dunno if you remember me?
John Thatcher... we were in the same class at Stanmore.
Remember hunting round the market for German stamps because we thought they'd be worth a fortune in the future?

I still have the German stamps. They are still worth next to nothing.
Do you still have that wonderful memory or are you like me and losing it rapidly. Time creeps up on you.
I noted there is a web site on google with Paul Felton photographer. I wonder if he is our class mate.
I am living in London now so I am a long way from home.
Excellent to hear from you.
Hi Lyn got a shock to see your name. Hope you remember me from school. I played the trombone in the band. Love to hear from you. Steven mitchell.Re: stanmore secondry, edgebaston
I went to Stanmore between 1971 an 1978- my father was also the assistant caretaker!
Alan Sessions here I do remember another photo with more players with “Doc” Lane and “Wally” HepburnHi there,
I am unsure about the date of my photo but possibly around 1969 if my maths is correct.
I will try for a few names.
Sara is third from the left.
I am 4th from the left.
Doc Lane is the teacher at the back of the photo. He was also the minister of Spring Hill baptist church and ran the 92nd boys brigade there. Later members of the band were Malcolm Palfrey and Peter sessions but I can't see them in this early photo.
I have a terrible memory for names but I am sure others will know who they are.
