Hallo Christine Ne Quarrington. Are you the Christine who was dating Mike then and in the same netball team as me. Just today I drove passed our "School" once again. It gave me goosepimples especially after having found this Homepage.

I presume the aforementioned Mike Philp is the all-round sportsman - known to single-handedly win house football and rugby matches! and who became Tonbridge House Captain. I have just uncovered a 6th form House photo (in front of the most photographed steps in the world - will try to send to the site). Memories of the long bus journeys to and from Dusseldorf keep flooding back as do concerts at the Philipshalle, nights in the Alt Stadt......

Loved seeing the pics, although it was rather sad at the same time.

(At Kent School from 1971 to 1976, academic years: 1ST to 5TH)

Hi Maralyn (Wakeman) hi Chris (Quarrington & sister of Jenny?) I remember you both, but I think you are more likely to remember my elder sister Kim west I noticed from the post on this site that Maralyn lives just down the road from me in Puerto Andratx. I live in Calvia (pueblo)with my three sons. Have lived here in mallorca for the past 22 years. My sister Kim has had some reunions with ossie (noaks) Bronwyn (crawmac) and Jane capener, and more lately with Janet and Angela (Wren)shes managed to get in touch with loads of your old pals through various networking sites and has loads of photos from kent school, so if you are curious to catch up with some pals from kent school chances are she can help.

christine Johnson (Nee Randall)

(At Kent School from 1970 to 1973, academic years: 2ND to 4TH)

Hellooooo Maureen Robertson. Great to hear from you...god got one off your hands hey?
You sent that e-mail in the day of my eldest Sons birthday, Kris was 29.
I think I remember Lorraine Crawford too, but I didn't smoke so can't remember if I actually tried it once or twice with anyone at Kent.
Actually still don't smoke.God wasn't this all a long long time ago?
I strike 51 in a few weeks time and still feel like a big kid.Was in Rheindahlen a few weeks ago on a Business trip and met up with Jill Talbot who lives there with her hubby.
Hadn't been back there since leaving in 73...very strange going back after all this time. Didn't have time to pop to Kent school, don't know if I want to see it looking so sad....but going back to Germany in March, may go and see it, others may advise against it that have been sad to see such a lovely big place go to ruin.
Made the mistake of returning to RAF Binbrook a few years ago ,where I was born and had another spell there when I was 9,10,11...it looked awful..all the Aircraft hangers where my Dad used to work were derelict...terrible.
I remember Mo having her bedroom in the cellar, a great place to hide...it was the first place I ran to when we all got caught knocking on doors and Gail Robinson ( I think it was Robinson) told the police on us all.
Ah happy days....keep in touch.
Ps how is Christine Quarrington doing these days?

Can't think of anymore at the moment. I do remember Mr. Ellis (nasty piece of work) who took R.E. and I think Mr. Black to science (but I might be wrong).

DAVID W. EVANS

(At Kent School from 1973 to 1980, academic years: 1ST to Upp6TH)

I arrived at Kent School early in 1973 with my wife to teach chemistry which I did (together with some physics)from junior classes through to U6. I worked in the boarding house, Deal for the early part of our time in BFES whilst my wife worked in Chatham. About 1976 I was seconded to Chatham House to work alongside my wife and we continued to work there together until the birth of our first daughter, Bronwen in June 1978. She became adopted by the house and many girls looked after her during our remaining time in Germany. Sadly we have lost touch with many from those years but are still in contact with Terry McNulty who used to teach history and with the Black girls, Jill and Julie who became godmothers to our oldest and second daughters respectively. We met Jill in June of this year as she made the journey from Switzerland (where she now lives)to Bronwen's wedding.Although we have lost touch over the years, we recall pupils whom we taught at school and both boys from Deal and girls from Chatham with much fondness and affection. We remember that we held a number of bridge parties at weekends, trying to teach this challenging game; I wonder if anyone out there still plays or remembers those sessions? We would love to hear from anyone who remembers us from those happiest of times.
