My history is not very inspiring as other OM’s. My school days were from September 1947 to July 1952. I have lived and worked locally in the building trade. I left work slightly early because the company computer system was driving me up the wall. how I resisted attacking the terminals with a hammer I don’t know.
A few brief words of encouragement from Alex Stewart introduced me to 20-year very enjoyable stint with Maidstone Rugby Club. It was great fun playing and drinking alongside so many Old Maidstonians. I played cricket for a bit longer until the eyes started going.
I got married in 1963, had two children and now am a grandfather to two, both of whom I’m delighted to say are at their local grammar school.
I have been retired for ten years, and am thoroughly enjoying all the holidays, outings and other delights of retirement.
