Chris Flies In

Tall dark handsome stranger in our front hall turned out to be our very own Chris Wilson. Chris joined our foundation students in sixth form, and did us proud, achieving A levels in business, geography and technology and winning an RAF flying scholarship. The last I had heard of him he phoned to say he was just down from his first solo flight. Chris went on to join the Military Police, and is now chief engineer in charge of two large premises in London where he now lives. If I did a double take when I saw him, Eileen Tate could be heard screaming in the next street when she recognised him. Eamonn Burns also called in. Later that afternoon, after Chris and his girlfriend had gone, Pat Lenny told me he had seen someone in the distance, leaving the school with a very gorgeous companion, and he couldn't quite see who it was. Make sure you give her the compliment Chris. And keep in touch.
