Gail's Saint Hill Pix ca. 1980

[Dulloldfart]

These pix are from Gail Dowgray (Kutta). I scanned them for her. Her comments are in blue, mine in black. There are 22 pix in all. I've numbered them 101-122.

101 Son Andrew making certs in Qual

102 Stonelands

103 Attic bedroom

104 Jed and Nancy

105 Nancy _____? with boots on was doing some mission or study at G.O. She left her child with a carer and scarcely ever bothered to see her. I think she and Jed MacGuire had a bit of a 2D going. He was a nice guy from Scotland.

I completed a course at St Hill in June/July of 1980.

So there's the fellow who made my cert! I still have it! Thank you very much!

121 Me, ubiquitous fag i.e. cigarette!

122 Kirstin at work in Qual Note the OT3 pc folder casually lying on the table out in the open. Also note scene through window: Brown wooden shed used to be an LRH garage; in the early 70s was the Franchise Office; then the Letter Reg section (I worked there for three years); then in the early 80s was a mimeo files dump. Now it's demolished and the extended Castle is there.

cool pix. thanks for the share

 

[Kutta]

Yes that is Lindy in pic 119. Woman knitting may have been the 'nanny' my daughter had several run-ins with. Lindy is also in the photo of opening of the sauna - on left in brown jacket. Any current info on Lindy's whereabouts and wellbeing would be much appreciated. Nancy in 104 and 105 was from LA. She was married to a guy who had a Mexican sounding name and came over to St Hill for this xmas. He is in pic 106 at right hand end of the sofa.

You may be thrilled to know that I have finally quit the fags after a 40+ year addiction that sci never cured. Now I chew gum and have a very occasional puff!

Thanks Paul for posting these. ( Can't find the smilies, would post you a grateful one if I could.)

I thought the person in light sweater holding a toddler in background of 109 was Bob Bolger. Is that really Colin Guy in pretty headscarf? Or is it a private joke between Paul and Colin?

You're probably right about Bob Bolger. I don't recall Peter and Stephanie having any kids there. I really do think that is Colin. The clothing (not the headscarf though) and posture seem familiar. He hasn't commented on the picture to me.

106 The Welshman with specs was Allen Groothias a mate of Derek Toombes. They were odd as you say. Allen is still around East Grinstead and Derek married a lady from Prague and moved there.
109The lady with grey hair near Alex Smith looks like Lucy Duncan.

102 Isn't the green and white hut in the background central files or was it the bookstore?. I think both.

107 Good pic. That's just how I remember Stephanie.

110 Hope you don't mind me saying Gail but does kirstin still have a babyface?.

Kutta,

Do you know if Nancy was a FR at CCint in Yvonne's time?

 

[Kutta]

Sorry mate, I don't know. She was at St Hill about 1977-78 for several months. Do you think you know her? She would be maybe about 60 yrs old now. I'd love to know what she's doing.

 

[Kutta]

Well M-Angelo, not quite so much, (she's 42 yrs old now! and Andrew is 40!)but the likeness is still there, still a bit chubby cheeked, and the red hair. If I could, I would post you a pic. But how do I know the 'url' of a photo in my iPhotos??

 

[michaelangelo]

Kutta,I'm not very good at posting pics myself. I scan them them and save. Then I have to resize them. But I'd like them to come out bigger.
You have mentioned Lindy Gallop. Maybe if you can find out where her dad is. Is his name Peter? You may find out from him. I think that Paul said he was at PAC.
M-Angelo AKA Don.

102 Isn't the green and white hut in the background central files or was it the bookstore?. I think both.

The green hut bit you can see was lots of things. I was in there as FBO in 1974 for a few months before moving to a small office right at the other end of the hut. I also remember it as the Auditor (magazine) office, and yes, the bookstore. The other side of it was CF in the mid-70s, then turned into HCO by about 1979 and CF moved into the castle basement under what is now Reception and then was a large courseroom.

Oh god, I worked in that hut when it was c/f with Harry Lucas and Jane Harris for a few weeks before being transfered to addresso down near the canteen. I even slept in that hut once, it was really cold.
later addresso moved to the basement also with c/f, treasury and the reg office.

Yes, you're right. And on the right of Angela and Julie looks like Pauline Chatterton.
