Have been married to my husband Gene for over 9 years and have just had our 11th Christmas together. We have 5 beautiful children,2 boys and 3 girls, and we are living in New York and planning to live here a long time due to the fact that my husband just retired from the U.S Army after 23 years. I am very blessed as I am a stay at home mum or as I call it a "Domestic Goddess". Enjoying life more than I ever thought I would and would love to hear from anyone who remembers me.

Brothers James (R. 1993-98), Ryan (R. 1989-94), John (D. 1982-85), Sean (R. 1985-90) and cousin Dan Heal (R. 1990-95) scaled Ben Nevis in Scotland and Mount Snowdon in Wales within 24 hours on 26th August to raise money for a children's hospital. They hope to raise at least £12,000 for the Royal Alexandra Children's Hospital in Brighton, which will include money to buy a food labelling machine for children with eating disorders and allergies.
The family took on the challenge because John's three year old son, Jake, suffers from Prader-Willi Syndrome - a rare genetic condition where the brain does not tell the stomach that it is full up. You can still sponsor the family by e-mailing threepeaks06@aol.com.

I do so much enjoy receiving the Pelican via e-mail and searching for signs of those still around who were colleagues of mine in the mid-forties. I attach a photo of the Junior Swim Team in that era. Apart from yours truly at the top left I can identify the likes of Albrecht, Davis, Donoghue, and the Holding twins. As hard as I've tried I just can't place the name of the seventh chap. Life continues to treat me extremely well out here on the West Coast of Canada and at 75 feel almost as fit as I was in those days of racing back and forth in the swimming bath at the College!

Jeremy Barrett
L. 1954-58
posted: 30th August 2006
Jeremy Barrett is a lie detector or polygraphist. He was trained in the USA and in the last two decades has carried out many hundreds of polygraph examinations all over the world.
Born in Colombo, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) in 1940, Jeremy was brought up in Ceylon, Africa and India. His Australian father wanted him to be educated at Melbourne Grammar but his English mother, and the Japanese, caused him to be sent to Brighton College, where he took O and A levels.
In 1958 he joined the Dunlop Rubber Company Ltd as a trainee overseas sales executive but in his spare time he enrolled in the Territorial Army. He passed selection to enter the 23rd Special Air Service Regiment (TA) in 1959, was commissioned and, transferred to the 22nd SAS Regiment as a regular army officer. He resigned his commission in 1961 after a severe parachuting accident restricted his activities.
Jeremy then joined the Standard Triumph Motor Company, which had just become a part of the Leyland Motor Corporation. He progressed through the company to become Group Public Relations Manager for the Corporation.
Five happy years later, in 1966, he was invited to become a Director of the Government sponsored Road Transport Industry Training Board (RTITB) which he helped to establish. In 1969, after three years of 'quangoism' and wanting more foreign travel, he joined the Continental Oil Company (CONOCO) for a year until 1970 when he was lured over onto the Board of the British School of Motoring (BSM).
From April 1970 to January 1980, Jeremy was a key Director on the Board which developed BSM from a company turning over £1.2m per annum (achieved with 650 ageing cars and 158 seedy branches), into a vibrant organisation operating 1600 new cars from 160 modern offices and turning over £23m.
Whilst at BSM, following a spate of widely publicised kidnap attempts around the world, and an attack on HRH Princess Anne in 1973, Jeremy devised an 'anti-kidnap' or 'anti-hijack' course for chauffeurs. In March 1978 the Italian Premier, Aldo Morro, was assassinated. Jeremy was in the USA at the time and able to demonstrate, for TV news programmes, the techniques which could have prevented the fatal ambush. This exposure resulted in enormous publicity and a great deal of contact with all manner of security people.
It was during this time that Jeremy became fascinated with the lie detection procedures and the use of the polygraph. In 1982 he undertook an eight week training course in Miami, Florida, at the Zonn Institute of Polygraph Inc., part of the Zonn Corporation, who were the largest polygraph operating company in the USA with offices in many cities. Although eligible, he chose not to join the American Polygraph Association.
On returning to the UK, Jeremy and an American partner formed Polygraph Security Services Ltd. For security reasons the company was de-registered in 1991, but the service has continued. Jeremy has conducted many hundreds of polygraph examinations for a awide variety of clients in many countries. Although he offers complete confidentiality to all subjects, inevitably some results are released to reveal his involvement in cases such as, in 1997, the bribery scandal that resulted in the resignation of Narasima Rao, the Prime Minister of India. However, several high profile people have famously refused Jeremy's services - President Bill Clinton, Geoffrey Boycott and, most recently, London Mayor, Ken Livingstone, to name but three. Jeremy is a regluar guest on several UK television programmes, and is frequently interviewed, or featured, in various other media. He was a guest speaker at the 43rd Annual Professional Polygraph Seminar held in New York in June 2004 - the first ever 'foreign' speaker!
Married in 1970, Jeremy and his wife, Daphne, have two sons and live in London.

For the past few years I have been working on an educational outreach project for the Millennium Mathematics Project at Cambridge University. But I have realised that life is too short to continually travel around the country convincing children that maths can be fun, so I am in the process of quitting my job, selling my car, giving away my furniture and booking my flights to Central America.
I am going to work for a grassroots community development organisation in Guatemala. The Progressive Integrated Development Association of San Agustín Acasaguastlán (ADIPSA) was set up in 1994 by a group of small producers in the El Progresso region of central Guatemala. ADIPSA aims to improve the living standards of the subsistence farmers in the communities around San Augustin. They have initiated a number of sustainable development schemes including post-primary education programmes, crop diversification schemes, women’s co-operatives, microcredit loans and an organic fairtrade coffee growing business.
As the only English-speakers in the community, my boyfriend and I hope to help ADIPSA make contact with UK and US NGOs, businesses and charities that are able to support the organisation’s vital on-going work.
I would love to hear from any OBs who are currently living in Guatemala, or who have contact with other development organisations in the area. A friendly accent and a reminisce about lunch hours down ‘The Brissy’ would definitely reduce any feelings of homesickness!

After the final day back in 1991, I did my bit at Cambridge Uni training to be a teacher (putting something back in and all that!)
I taught at St John's Choir School for two years where I was assistant Housemaster looking after the delightful choristers (!). I then spent eight great years at Dulwich College teaching a class of Year 6 boys and running the PE and Games in the Junior School. Whilst there, I spent a year on a teaching exchange surrounded by sheep and kids - well, in NZ (managing quite cunningly to ensure it coincided with the traumatic experience of the Lions tour!) before returning for a year to Dulwich. The lure was simply too strong though as King's Prep, the NZ school had offered me a PE post.
Many may remember my kid bro Tim - he had been here for 5 years and loving it. I write this now whilst overlooking the Hauraki Gulf and Rangitoto volcano (quite dead though!) with the sun pouring across the water. Tough eh?
Still painting and have written a childrens' book - hope to be selling 5 mill by next year!!!
Be great to hear from my year - we had a good time eh..?!

Not so much news but thanks to Mike Senyard for producing a long-forgotten photograph which I took of Norman "Nero" Frith half a century ago! How very interesting - does he have any other photos?
I remember also taking 16mm film of "Nero" consuming a sandwich - much hilarity when run backwards with the sandwich being "reformed"
Also a sad comment on the death of Peter Gough.
I only saw Peter twice after I left Brighton in 1956.
First time was on the River Thames, when I was cruising up-river with my family. Peter and Daphne were in a punt, Peter poling and Daphne reclining in the stern, listening to music on an old wind-up gramophone. We had a delightful tea with them in their riverside cottage above Abingdon.
The last time I saw him (and Michael Cardew) was at Bob Alexander's house - sadly, Bob, Michael and Peter have all passed on.
Peter was a lovely man, very artistic, producer of many of the College plays and Officer i/c RAF section of the Combined Cadet Force.
John Davies (R. 1980-85) was visiting from his home in California last week, and joined Joey Appleton in The Ram Inn, Firle for a chianti or two...
Jason Sugarman (R. 1982-87) has been selected by the Conservatives to contest one of their key target seats, Lewes. The barrister and former College Prefect stood in the 2001 election and was selected by more than 150 local members despite not being on David Cameron's A list of candidates. His parents live in the constituency and he is a former District Councillor.
We wish him well.

After Brighton, I went up to Durham to read geology. I survived the experience and stayed on to do a Ph.D., also in geology (sequence stratigraphy). After graduating, I joined BP in 1998 to work as a geologist in oil exploration. I've spent the majority of my time at BP exploring the deepwater offshore Angola (based in the outer London office rather than the southern Atlantic I hasten to add) though am now about to move to another London-based role exploring the Azeri southern Caspian. During that time I've broadened and deepened my interest in wine, bought a house (with cellar, of course) in Chertsey and have met and married a fellow BP geoscientist, Sara. We were married in March 2005 in Richmond-upon-Thames and live in Chertsey.

I’m putting the finishing touches to a book on Mussolini's long-forgotten air assault on eastern and south-eastern England in 1940-41. It's called 'Wrath of the Duce'.
Fiat bombers took off from Belgian airfields to attack Ramsgate, Harwich, Ipswich, Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth. The big clash came on November 11th 1940 when Italian bombers and fighters ran into a couple of Hurricane squadrons off Orford Ness.
At the moment I'm trying to find a photo of Mussolini piloting a bomber. Can anybody help with that??
I can't say my CCF career at the College prepared me for a book like this. (I wasn't even in the RAF Section!) The cap badge of The Royal Sussex Regiment glittered proudly in my beret.
But all those parades, field days and summer camps helped give me an abiding interest in things military - as did the many battles that featured in the history taught with such gusto by Norman Frith and Headmaster Bill Stewart.
All that stood me in good stead when I became Pentagon Correspondent for the American newspaper, The Christian Science Monitor, back in the 1980s.
My next book isn't half so military, though it has its martial moments. It's a history of Claremont Palace in Esher, Surrey, built by Clive of India and beloved of Queen Victoria.
Now, what I badly need for that is a photograph of VR in her carriage at the foot of the front steps!
Any offers??!

This is the first time I have I made contact since leaving 24 years ago! I went straight from school to Cardiff University to study law (when I met my wife Fiona in 1983 who was studying history in the year below me). Then joined Brighton solicitors DMH Stallard (then known as Donne Mileham & Haddock) where I qualified as a solicitor. Married Fiona in 1991. Then moved away in 1993 to join solicitors dfa law in Northampton where I am a partner and head of their commercial law department. Currently living in Northampton within a village called Dallington .We have two children , India who is 7 and Imogen who is 4. My parents and relatives still live in Brighton so I often visit the town.My mothers side of the family used to own Vokins department store which used to trade from North Street before it was sold in the early 1990's, which some of you may remember. Have lost touch with old boys apart from occasional contact with Andrew Cayley who as your site notes is doing great work to bring war criminals to justice. I might summon up courage to come to a reunion do sometime whilst I still have my own hair!

I can't believe that 15 years have already passed since we were throwing our hats up in the air after that final recital of Jerusalem in the college chapel. Since then so may things have happened. I did my after A level studies in France and then went to work in the city as a shipbroker and I am still doing it 13 years on and absolutely loving it. During that time I have spent a good part of my time in London, a couple of years in Hong Kong and for the past six years have been in Paris. I also married a French girl (called France funnily enough) in 2001 and now have two little boys called Julian (two and a half) and James (9 months). It is now time for me to move on again as I will take up a new position in Shanghai and will be leaving during the first week in May which unfortunately means that I will not be able to join you for a few pints in the St James' in June. A shame because I would have liked to catch up with all those who could have made it.
I will of course count on you to pass on my best regard to all attendees that remember me and if you or any of the others happen to be in Shanghai then do not hesitate to drop me an email.

I cannot believe it is almost four year's since I last visited the Pelican website. and twelve since I left Brighton College. My generation is far too young to habitually check the obituaries, but we are starting to produce the next generation of Brightonians, and also compare premature greying or hair loss. though I still have mine.
For my part since my last stream of consciousness in 2002, I left the cosy life of animation in Shrewsbury and moved to bohemian Paris where I worked as a concept and branding artist for a fashion menswear company. In 2004 I became a dad and since then have been working as a senior lecturer in BA (Hons) Animation Production at The Arts Institute at Bournemouth.
It has been an exciting year at work with the animation department forming part of the Bournemouth Screen Academy, launched by screen writer / film director Anthony Minghella last week, as one of the first six centres of excellence specializing in film production in the UK. Far from wishing to blow the trumpet of the Arts Institute at Bournemouth I would gladly receive enquiries from any Brightonians who might consider film or animation as an alternative study option in higher education.
Personally, I have just finished directing an animated short 'Alphabetic', as part of a series of Arts Council England commissions to be screened as part of Project Poetry at the Gardener Arts Centre during the Brighton Festival. I also recently produced a fashion illustration for the rebranding of Moyses Stevens, the Sloane Street florist chain in London.
Both inspired by fatherhood, my next project is to collaborate with Michael Flexer (best remembered for his writing and acting talents), on an illustrated children's book. Parenthood is my proudest experience, and I would love to catch-up with any of my contemporaries who may also have become parents.

Great to receive the Pelican and read all the news. It makes me feel but a stone's throw away! Life as a physician in Canada is no less busy than in the NHS in England which I left in 1994.
Currently very involved with teaching,and maintaining a practice at the same time, as well as completing research, and at this later stage of my life, taking up the challenge of an e-course MSc in International Primary Care. Lifelong learning to the full! As the Director of the Family Medicine Clerkship programme, and Clinical Associate Professor, I currently oversee and organise the GP training of all final year medical students at the University of Calgary, in Alberta. This is my fifth year on the Board of Directors of the Alberta Chapter of the College of Family Physicians of Canada, and my third as the Chief Examiner for the Medical Council of Canada national Licensing examination - the LMCC. My wife and I remain very happy in Alberta, and have two sons in their 20's, our eldest completing his own MSc in Developmental Studies, the the younger training to be a commercial pilot. We would be pleased to hear from anyone visiting our city.

Sad to report death of Malcolm McKelvey on Dec 29th 2005. He was Head of Music 1958 to 1962 and much of the little I know about music, I owe to him. I had the pleasure of meeting him again in Brussels when he was visiting his daughter who taught in the British School of Brussels with my wife. I had an interesting few beers with him during which I learnt much of the inside story that led to his appointment.

PLEASE NOTE: There will be a memorial service for Malcolm McKelvey at Christ’s Hospital, Horsham on Sunday June 18th. I believe time for the service is 15.00 hrs but this will need to be confirmed nearer the time.

After Cambridge i went into teaching and worked at a number of Prep Schools including the Dragon, where I met my wife Sarah. We have a nine year old daughter, Molly, and are now running a boarding house at Summer Fields in Oxford. I have spent much of my spare time visiting battlefields around the world and have just written my first book about the 300 Old Summerfieldians killed in action. Many of them were "A" list war heroes and it really is a good read. Do use the attached link to buy a copy!
Anyone in Oxford - do get in touch!

My daughter Lillie-Louise was christened at Brighton College on the 11th December 2005, after which we all had a few drinks in Cafe de Paris. Thank you from Rachel and myself to all the staff involved esp. Father Robert and Anthony & Jo Seldon for a great day.
