My name is Jack Grubbs, I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
I was searching for information for my wife, she had a "pen pal" who she corresponded with around 1957.
They were in high school at that time, around 17years old. Her pen pal lived in Walthamstow and I was searching to see if we could locate her after all these years.Her name and address was:
Nita Wilson
135 Forest Street
Walthamstow E17 London EnglandJack

I was there from 1948-1955. Remember many staff: "Slugger" Watson -brilliant languages teacher, Mr. Day, Mr. Dakin, Mr Shepherd, Mr. Grainger -never got on with him, Mr. Davis, Mr. Pugh, Peter Cork -who I remained in contact with until his death in 2012. I played at his memorial concert in Folkestone. I did A level music with Dudley Moore and we sometimes performed together in concerts, house festivals and at Kingsley Hall. Interesting how many pupils emigrated to Canada, Australia and USA. What a different life they must have found to post-war Dagenham. Dudley went off to Oxford in 1955 and I went to play in Coldstream Guards Band for 3 years before becoming a teacher -music, of course. Now at 81, i still look back and wonder what happened to all the contemps. Charlie Law, Peter Setrem ( he became a languages teacher in Forest Hill), John Whitwell (met up with him,am still in contact. He is retired vicar) Roy Bannister, John Megson, Joan Cowie, Barbara Graver, Mavis Kemp...etc. Brian Astell (Bas)
