Who would you like to trace if we could?

Since I filled out the interview, I have been contacted by Kim Hubbard, Robby Malcolm, Doris Lancaster, Laura Downey and Paul Smith. I am thrilled to have been able to make contact with them and would love to hear from others as well.
Donna Henriques
What's the wildest thing you ever did at Priory?
I (with a few of my friends) snuck through the barbed wire back by the auto mechanics class to smoke a cigarette. Just as the bell was ringing to go back to class a prefect (probably Simon Blake and Stephen Smith) came into view so we were rushing to get back through when I was caught on a barb, I had to just rip my leg off the wire and told the "authorities" that I had tripped on something on the grounds. I still have the scar today."
Simon Blake
Who was the craziest person during your time at Priory?
Michael Ashenheim was one of the first people I met in Jamaica and always made me laugh. He had a great personality.

I live outside Washington, DC in Herndon, VA. I have raised 4 children with my husband Dan Stapor. I substitute teach and work for a small meeting planning company.
