Peter Long has been in touch

 I'm glad you're taking the trouble to document the boys grammar , thank you. I was at the boys grammar from Sept 1965 until July 1970 when I left to seek my fortune in the working world. We emigrated to Edmonton, Alberta , Canada in July 1980 and we're still here.

Peter then gives a photo and description of the GOL trip here

Two other things come to mind, I left in July 1970 and soon after, maybe a year later an extremely nice and popular guy by name of Terry Burns was killed in Gateshead by a drunk driver while on his way to church with his girlfriend, tragic. Another death I know of was Gordy Walker who died around about 1974 after a long illness, again another very nice lad.

Well I hope my ramblings can be used on your website.
