Re: Floods

I'm glad to hear you are ok Doug. We have been away so I'm just catching up. There was a lad I think called Thompson who spent several days on the egg rack at School Camp in the late 1950's. Gilbert was feeding him on a milk only diet which perhaps didn't help the poor lad's symptoms. Would that be you Doug?

Re: Floods

No, not me, Keith. In fact, I never got to School Camp. There were two Thompsons I knew of in roughly my years ('51-'58), one was Howard, the other, Neil, both coming from Riddlesden, if I'm not mistaken.
