Re:John Ramsey’s Sri-Lanka story
\nMany thanks for this. Debbie Nurdin is still our Librarian and should have already acknowledged your email. Debbie will be using John’s story as the basis for an item in the next Old Boys’ Newsletter.
\nMr Wybar has asked me to let you know that he will be using extracts for two assemblies today and the School will be making a collection towards this fund tomorrow. Money collected will be forwarded to the account in due course.<\/p>\n

Please let us know if you hear from John again.<\/p>\n

28th February 2005 More news from the School<\/b><\/p>\n

Received the school newsletter this morning.<\/p>\n

John Ramsey’s account is reprinted in full, together with a photo of him on the front page, giving him as an example to the current generation of Gravesendians.<\/p>\n

There’s also a report of David McKeogh’s death. He joined in 1948 and was head of maths when he retired in 1980. He didn’t have the dubious honour of teaching me (Cod Walker did) but I do remember him from cricket and rugby involvement.<\/p>\n
