I Entered Aldrich in January 1953 Transferred to Durnford in September 1955 and left the College in March 1957.
Memories of 1950s Durnford:
Wine making with yeast obtained from the Kemp Town Brewery... The smoking den in the boiler house of the Royal Sussex Hospital... The winning, against all odds, of the School Rugby Cup 1956/7... Cockroach crunching in the boiler room at night Quinine and Detol the cure for all ills...
Wanted: Photographs, electronic or hard copies of 1956/7 College 2nd XV Rugby Team and the successful Durnford Team of the same season or indeed any photos of the period, unfortunately all my photos were destroyed. |

Well, like most of my peers I am coming up to thirty, and thankfully without too many regrets. I
have now finished up at Southwestern Medical Center (Dallas), and I am taking a new position with
the Medical School at the University of California in San Diego. It still means ridiculously long
hours of work, but it is ultimately rewarding.
Anyway, I hope all is well with my other old class mates. Drop me a line if any of you are in the
area, and fancy a spot of surfing!
