Old Friends

If anyone from Bungay Secondary Modern is out there and wants to chat about old times and what they are up to know please respond to this!

The years would have been 1968 to 1974 with Geoff Mayne and Jonny Watson in their prime and Harry Blowers spending most of his time in the side office with the leggy assistant.

Some of us are down under and would like to know what the others have been up to.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Spent one year at the Bungay school. I think it was 1971-72. I was the American who attended with my two sisters. My mom is English, and we lived in Earsham with her mother during the year my father went to Viet-Nam. Would love to hear from someone who remembers me. I am now retired from the USAF, and living in Denton North Carolina.
