When did you attend Priory 1952-1955
How did you locate the Priory website? My son brought it to my attention
Who were your most memorable teachers? Henry 'Pops' Fowler: charismatic, intelligent, witty, sharp, bright, understanding, generous, caring, full of life, visionary, fair, trusting, always there
Henry Fowler 1955
Who were your best friends at Priory? David 'Babú' Goffe, David Ross, Geoffrey Hutchinson, Richard Wates, Segre 'Tom' Hacker, Billy Reid: regular guys, good fun

Who would you like to track down? 3 of my best friends are no longer with us: David Ross and Denise Royes, I guess.
What was the wildest thing you did at Priory? Participant in tying Mrs. McDonald's Ford Anglia to a lignum vitae tree in the parking lot one last-day of term
Mrs. McDonald
Tell us about your memories of Priory and Jamaica The happiest days of my childhood, which I fondly cherish. More than a physical place it was a state of being guided by Henry and his 'combo'. Now it's disappeared, it's essence should be perpetuated by us who've 'been there'.
Who was the craziest person during your time at Priory? Christopher Jacobs & Mervyn Towers were quite different but by no means 'crazy', just very focused on a tiny portion of the academic spectrum, to the detriment of the remainder. Smart guys & respected.
Where do you live and what do you do nowadays? I live in DeLand, FL where I have been a FL State Park Ranger for the past 11 years at DeLeon Springs State Park and retire at the end of this month.
Tell us about any significant others My wife Cecilia, a retired librarian, from Venezuela, where I lived for about 25 yrs. before migrating to the U.S.

Tell us about your most unusual meeting with a Priory person Years ago, while in the immigration queue at Miami Airport I saw Geoffrey Hutchinson in another queue but so as not to lose my place I didn't go over to say hello. Never saw him again and heard he (British Consul in Barranquilla, Colombia) had been assassinated by terrorists.
What do you think of the Priory Website? Great.
