Here is a picture of "Chewy" Overton who taught Maths at HC in the late 50's and certainly was there when I left in 1963.
This photograph was sent to me by Jonathan Howarth who was a day boy at HC between 1960 and 1963 (Keyes House). Jonathan informs me that he was privately tutored by Chewy who was married to Eileen. The photo was taken in the summer of 1975 at Broadstairs in Kent and Chewy died in either 1976 or 1977 as far as JH can recall. He is buried in Potter Street churchyard.
Jonathon also recalls a visit to see Roy Purgavie in Dorset who was pining over a failed romance. (I find that rather odd, but hey ho!) Roy died in 1967 I believe at the age of 56. I remember receiving a letter from Godfrey Harvey informing me that he had died and I am fairly certain it was 1967.
For those of you who attended the HC reunion, I hope you had a pleasant evening and I eagerly await the photos and report from Michael Dyke, which I will publish here.
In about 1962 he was ousted from teaching maths by said Godfrey Harvey. He then taught hisotry and lit the flame of interest in that subject which has stayed with me. He went on to teach at my cousin's school in Harlow Fedsten Hall.Sis Purgavie die in 67/istr speaking iwth him in 68
