1. Peter Perry 1943-47

►I am writing on behalf of my father Peter Perry who attended Hemsworth Grammar School - he appears on one of the photos for 1946 -7 in Form 4D. He would love to meet up with any old boys (or girls) from his era at school. (Contact through the site.) Would it be possible to include his details on one of the school pages on the website please? If there are any reunions planned he would be very interested.

Many thanks.

►Dear Dave and Sheila,

I check out the website on regular occasions and I am amazed how it's grown. So much detail and interest, a wonderful project, you must have spent many hours in the making. Keep up the good work and many thanks for all your effort. It seems you have been responsible for bringing so much pleasure to so many. Well done. Having reached that magical age I am still working. The school motto "find pleasure in work" has certainly applied to me all my working life.

►Thank you Sheila for pointing out the site to me. Over the last year I've spent many a happy, nostalgic hour drifting through various parts of it, lost in a world that was. Keep it up.

I have a couple of names to put to photographs. 1950-51 3c back row No. 5 is Joe Bryan. Prefects 1951-52 3rd row No. 6 is Russell Allbrook.
