    Phillip Davies (aka “Phil Tricks” for falling head-first over the banisters as I slid down them) GBGS 1963 -1970

    Just found the site; great to reminisce.

    Some great photos and I remember so many old school mates. Martin Hurdidge, Clive Lewis, John Morgan, Mansel Lewis, Gareth Brenton, Phil Matthews, Clive Foote, Roland Hedges and so many more.

    After Uni. I qualified as a civil engineer and for the past 18 years I’ve worked for a Japanese Construction Company in Hong Kong on the Airport, and Express Rail-links.

    Anyone that remembers me can get in touch by email.

    Looking forward to returning home one day.

    As part of a project for the website of the former Aberdare Boys' Grammar School, where she taught Geography and Geology from 1940-1942, I am researching the life of Miss Dilys Elizabeth Quick. She was born in Aberdare in 1916.

    I believe that on leaving the above post in Aberdare, she was appointed to the staff of the Gowerton Intermediate School for Girls.

    I know that the Gowerton Girls' Grammar School was founded in 1946 subsuming the Intermediate School.

    Later in her career, Miss Quick became the Head of the Geography department at the Swansea Teacher Training College.

    Can someone please tell me:

    1. Did Dilys Quick transfer to the staff of Gowerton Girls' Grammar School, from the Intermediate School?

    2. When did she take up her post at Swansea Training College?

    Before her death, she became Dr Dilys Quick. Is there any available information about that later degree?

    She died in 2003, aged 87 and her funeral took place at Llwydcoed Crematorium, Aberdare.

    Thanks,

    John Samuel
