The photograph below was in the Chronicle & Echo on Saturday 10 January 2009. It was titled "A Naval rating visits Trinity School" It was taken 12th July 1967.
In February 2010 I received an e-mail from Mike Horne. Mike was in the fifth form in 1964/65 and spotted himself recently on the website. He is the Naval Rating in the middle.
Mike says: The naval rating is me!!!
Mick Horne, class of 1965 - I was MADE to go by the navy as
I left school under a black cloud and was not too keen to
return...........however, it was taken after I'd been out to
Singapore for 18 months, following a years training so I
didn't really know any pupils at the school.
After spending my youthful years pushing submarines around,
I went off to the Middle East (Abu Dhabi) for 10 years, came
back to England at the end of the 1st Gulf war (1991), but
only stayed for 2 years before moving to the USA.
Spent five years in Denver, 3 years in Phoenix and moved to
Edinburg, Virginia (a small town 100 miles SW of Washington
DC) in 2000.
Spent my life in Information Technology rising to some
reasonable management positions. Retired in 2004 for
the first time but the wife had other ideas and started a
tea room. We finished that at Christmas 2009 and now
have time on my hands to catch up with all the other things
in life.
Do you recognize anyone else in the photo?
