Correspondence.

From: Brenda Russell, 6/9/01

Your web site is wonderful - it brought back so many bittersweet memories. I haven't thought about the school for 40 years - but your collection of photos and memorabilia bought everything back. My sister Eileen & I attended DCs from approx 1950 - 1957. We both left England and now live in Seattle WA - but we get back to the U.K. quite often.

Does anyone remember buying honeycomb from the "tuckshop" outside the school?

I have a class picture still from the first year at school - probably about 1953 - I will try to get it to you to incorporate in the site.

Just thought about the yearly "talent concerts" - I'm sure they were not called that - but every year the pupils would perform a concert of their various talents. It used to be very good - there were some very talented kids around - but I remember in one instance a girl named Diane played the piano - and she played "Unchained Melody" which totally shocked the faculty because it wasn't considered "proper" to play a "pop" tune - they probably weren't called than then. Anyway, every time I hear that tune - and as you know it had a resurgence of popularity with the film "Ghosts" or whatever the name was - I remember that concert.

Brenda (married name Slosky) has sent lots of photographs which now appear on the site.
