My Memories of School Life and the Staff Who Controlled It

Peter Douglas was at Trinity from 1956 to 1963, and now lives in Albany, NY, USA.  He worked until recently for the New York State Talking Book and Braille Library Cultural Education Center.

He first visited this website in late 2004 after his father sent him a copy of the November 2004 article from the Chronicle & Echo.   He has been an avid reader and contributor ever since.

Here Peter describes a number of his memories from his school days, and the members of staff that either made them something he wanted to remember, or something he thought he had forgotten.  The first article describes his last day at school, from an account that he actually wrote at the time.

The 15 articles make very interesting and times amusing reading, and they bring back long-forgotten memories.  Many of us can remember with fondness some of the tings he said about "Jock" and feel some pain in the article on school sporting life with Mr Grimshaw. 

The final article "Other School Moments Remembered" is Peter finally emptying his memory banks.  He believes that this is it - there are no more memories to come out.  Some of the one-liners he has put here will surely evoke memories among many readers.
