the founding of the Greenbelt Arts Festival, now at Cheltenham. Have written a couple of books.<br />

(bomb scare or hijack!). After early retirement from El Al had a second, less exciting,<br />
career in private aviation, promoting and handling charter flights. Business was severely<br />
curtailed by the tourism crisis of the last few years and I was (reluctantly) retired last year,<br />

history (a subject I did not take at school), practising Tai-chi, brushing up my Arabic, gazing at<br />
the beautiful blue Mediterranean, - and looking for a new (paid) job! At present doing some<br />

way I won a number of awards including both the Grierson and CBC award for contribution to
Canadian Cinema, and the Rex Tasker prize for best documentary film is given each year at the<br />
Atlantic Film Film Festival. I also taught film at Stanford University,California, New York<br />

of ways.<br />

other than Rugby Union were very much frowned upon at the School. Founded Edgware Rovers<br />
Football Club with such other enthusiasts as Malcolm White (captained Cambridge University<br />
"Falcons" in late 50's or early 60's and sadly dec'd 1988), Len Joseph, Martin Searby ( read his<br />
cricket and football reports in "The Telegraph") and latterly David Davidson (left 63 or 64). Won<br />
Wembley Youth League title 1954-55 and gained admission to the Southern Olympian League in<br />

now manages business thus making my retirement very comfortable. Have fondest memories of<br />
Westbere Rd. particularly being lashed with the end of a climbing rope by Dave Thomas (my<br />
first form master) - Where is this ex-international hockey player now? Would love to become<br />
reacquainted and laugh about "old times." Also had the uplifting experience of being caned a<br />
couple of times by "Jef" Cooper for absurdly trivial transgressions and the delights of evading<br />
the flying board cleaner during "Wilf " Hewitt's maths periods. Tel.01296 688543<br />

I was at Habs from 1952 - 1960, the last two years in Reg Priest's A-level science 6th form<br />
classes (6B2 & 6A1, if I remember correctly). As an attendance monitor in 6A1, I still have a<br />
copy of the register. It was Reg Priest who inspired me to become a physicist. After leaving<br />
Habs, I took an honours degree in physics at Exeter University. Following that, I joined the<br />
Transport Research Laboratory (then called the Road Research Laboratory) where, since a<br />
change in responsibility in 1966, I was responsible for research on injuries in road accidents and<br />
ways of reducing the risk of these injuries. This has involved working with the Medical research<br />
group at the University of Nottingham, where I am an Associate Professor of Biomechanics. I<br />
will retire from TRL this summer and have been fortunate enough to be awarded an OBE for this<br />
work in this year's New Years Honours.<br />

I was in the Guard of Honour for the Lord Mayor when he opened the "new"school at Elstree. I still have a<br />
copy of the Illustrated London News which carried a major article on the Opening. When I left in 1963, I<br />
joined Johnny Walker, the Whisky manufacturers, on the export side. I left after two years, my health<br />
couldn't take the social occasions! I joined IBM UK Ltd. It was a major change as IBM was a"dry" company. I<br />
was playing Rugby for the Old Boys and had my 21st at the OB Club House. I spent 27 years at IBM, mainly<br />
working with UK Government. Amongst my responsiblities was the Royal Household and my wife and I were<br />
invited to a number of Garden Parties. They really do serve cucumber sandwiches. In 1993 I took the<br />
downsizing package that was being offered and worked for 7 years as an Consultant to the Policing bodies. I<br />
had a short 2 year career with another large US IT Company, also dealing with Government. When I left I<br />
thought I would be able to relax a bit as a part time Consultant. However, I was approached at the beginning<br />
of this year for a senior job with a large European IT company, to help develop their Government business. It<br />
was an offer I could not refuse so I am now back in the corporate space. I play occasional golf when I have<br />
the time, support England rugby and travel with my wife and family. My three children are all grown up and<br />
left home but we get on well and enjoy the best things in life together. I enjoy attending the Decade Dinners.<br />
Nice to see old school friends also getting old gracefully. I have taken along a collection of photos I took<br />
when at school and we have a good laugh looking at how we looked then.<br />

I was at Habs on an LCC scholarship from 1959 to 1965, built furniture for the Boarders in 1960<br />
whilst in NW London digs, was one of the first set of boys fast-tracked from the 4th to the 6th in<br />
1963 (a truly terrible decision, in retrospect). I may not use much of the direct curriculum in my<br />
life (computers), but I almost daily thank Habs for teaching me how to think, how to reason,<br />
and best of all how to question. And for the SSU alternative to the CCF that gave me electronics<br />
and logic. After leaving in 1965 I attended Bedford College in Regent's Park for a year, part of<br />
their first years' intake of men: 47 men, about 1000 women, mostly in residence. At the end of<br />
that first year the student president elect was a man and there was a bar in the common room.<br />
Left mid-course because I needed full time work, continued degree at Birkbeck College,<br />
graduated B. Sc in Mathematical Sciences with Physics in 1973. The full time work was at Elliott<br />
Automation, not far from the school as it happened, testing their computers, a job that morphed<br />
quite naturally into a career as I found computer logic and programming to be my metier. It<br />
also took me to Los Angeles in 1975, and in 1994 to Seattle and my little slice pf paradise on<br />
Bainbridge Island. See my CV at http://www.davidwarman.net for more details.

I have spent all my working life based in Liverpool. Sportswise I did not play much cricket after<br />
leaving school. I enjoyed a number of 20 overs, business type, knockabouts but was not<br />
prepared to persuade my wife (who was surprised that a hockey match could entail getting back<br />
after dark at 7.30pm or later) that I should spend the summer leaving earlier and getting home<br />
even later!! I am still playing the hockey, and in the last 5 years or so have been stupid enough<br />
to try to enjoy golf!! Tennis is another game that I have enjoyed once past 40! It is nice that I<br />
am still active because my parents spent all their leisure time sleeping in front of the TV at this<br />
age. The best payback has been being mistaken as my (27 year old) son's brother on a couple<br />
of occasions much to his annoyance. And even better, considered as a dirty old man dining with<br />
my 23 year old daughter!! To see how I have faired against the ravages of time visit<br />

school because I kept getting injured I now sail and run marathons ? and still get injured. Along<br />
the way I found time to write a reference book on TV Science Fiction (now in its 5th edition). I<br />
lost touch with everybody I was at school with. A clean break, y'know. We all have to move on.<br />
Deal with it, guys. But now that irritating fellow called curiosity has tapped on my shoulder and<br />
won't leave me alone. Where did all those long- haired rebels and miscreants get to...<br />

I had the good fortune to attend Habs while my family was living in England (in connection with<br />
my father's oil and gas related work assignment). I was one of a handful of Americans,<br />
Canadians, and Australians attending Habs during that time period. I returned with my family to<br />
the States, for my last year of high school, to the relatively small town of Tyler, Texas (just east<br />
of Dallas) in what I often jokingly refer to as "one of the greatest culture shock experiments of<br />
all time." As a fourth generation Texan, I proceeded to earn a degree in business from The<br />
University of Texas at Austin, an MBA, and finally a law degree from Southern Methodist<br />
University,Dallas. I am a corporate partner in the Dallas office of a relatively large law firm<br />
(300+ lawyers) named Gardere Wynne Sewell. I specialize in mergers and acquisitions and<br />
private equity transactions. I am married to Lisa and have one daughter named Anna Scott.<br />
Those who saw me play rugby at Habs will be amused (and possibly horrified) to know that I<br />
continued to embrace this sport for a number of years; playing at The University of Texas. As<br />
for cricket ... well that sport is simply beyond the comprehension of my fellow Americans. I<br />
encourage anyone finding their way to this part of the globe to contact me and I'll treat you to<br />
some authentic TexMex and remarkably good margaritas.<br />

After twenty-six years at sea as an electronics/electrical engineer in P&O passenger ships, I<br />
came ashore for good at the end of 2002. This somewhat unexpected move was prompted by<br />
the fact that my parents are now very frail and elderly and no longer able to look after<br />
themselves. As a result, I now have a new job, still with P&O but as Fleet Personnel Officer for<br />
the Electro-Technical Officers, my old department. I am able to work at home three days a<br />
week, with the aid of computer, modem and telephone, whilst the other two days (Tuesdays &<br />
Thursdays) are spent at the P&O Office in Southampton. It’s certainly a quantum change from<br />
what I have always been used to, but on the whole, I think that the general quality of life is<br />
better and my parents appreciate it too. Please send an e-mail if you feel like it – home is still in<br />
Ringwood, Hants. and it’s always good to hear from old friends. Now that I’m in the country 365<br />
days a year, get-togethers are much easier. Hobbies: countryside walking, reading, making and<br />
operating large (5ft-ish) radio-controlled model ships, travelling around the country seeing<br />
friends and generally being sociable.<br />

After a career in the UK rail industry I spent three years enjoying the warmth of Singapore<br />
working for the Land Transport Authority on new rail projects, and refereeing rugby matches to<br />
help work up a thirst. That contract ended in September 2004 and I decided to move further<br />
East and South. I'm now based in Sydney, still in railways and still refereeing, and I'd be<br />
delighted to catch up with any OH in the region for a barbie and a drop of red.<br />

After briefly working in the insurance business, joined the Army and went to the Royal Military<br />
Academy Sandhurst in 1976, passing out as a Royal Military Police officer in 1977. Tours as a<br />
junior officer included the RMP Mounted Troop in Aldershot, a platoon commander with the<br />
22nd (Cheshire) Regiment in Belize, and Northern Ireland at HQ 39 Brigade and 1 RMP. Later<br />
served in Germany at Werl, Berlin and Sennelager before returning to the Province as SO3 G4<br />
at HQ 8 Inf Bde from 1987 – 89. My command tour back at 110 Pro Coy RMP, Sennelager from<br />
1989 – 91 included Op GRANBY (the First Gulf War), during which I commanded the 1 (UK)<br />
Armd Div RMP unit, 203 Pro Coy RMP. After qualifying as a Russian Interpreter at the Defence<br />
School of Languages Beaconsfield, joined the Joint Arms Control Implementation Group at RAF<br />
Scampton in 1993. A 3 year tour there included a 6 month detachment to Georgia as a member<br />
of the OSCE mission, participation in the early Dayton Accord arms control inspections in<br />
Bosnia and too many trips to little-known corners of Eastern Europe to mention. In 1996 was<br />
posted to HQ Allied Command Europe Mobile Force (Land) in Heidelberg as Force Provost<br />
Marshal. Over the next 3 years exercised in Norway, Canada, Germany, Italy, Slovenia, Spain,<br />
Hungary, the UK, Greece and Turkey and deployed to Albania for 4 months on Op SPOONER in
1999 during the Kosovo Crisis. From Jun 2000 – Dec 2001, was second-in-command of 6 RMP<br />
in Northern Ireland before being posted at short notice to take up the newly-created<br />
appointment of Defence Attaché in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. After nearly 4 eventful and<br />
fascinating years there, returned to UK for 9 months to study Georgian. Was then posted to<br />
Tbilisi as Defence Attaché again, from where I cover not only Georgia but also Armenia and<br />
Azerbaijan. Will be here until Sep 09. Interests include field sports and cooking (ideally in<br />
combination), reading, riding and travel to outlandish places, including holidays at various<br />
times in Siberia, Mongolia and Lapland. Married Cathy, then a regular Queen Alexandra’s Royal<br />
Army Nursing Corps officer, in 1981. She has since also been an Ulster Defence Regiment Part<br />
Time officer and is now a TA QARANC officer as CO 306 Field Hospital. We have no children but<br />
2 dogs, which are a lot less trouble and cheaper too. Cathy divides her time equally between a<br />
home life in Tbilisi and fulfilling her TA commitments in UK.<br />

I've done quite a few things since I left Habs. I went to Edinburgh University and got a B.Sc<br />
Hons (1st), and then did a Ph.D. at Cambridge, both in Geophysics. Then I worked in the oil<br />
industry for 15 years, in Scotland, England, and Australia. We moved out here 10 years ago and<br />
haven't regretted it for more than a moment. I've worked throughout Southeast Asia and even<br />
learned Mandarin Chinese for a programme of work in mainland China. I have four healthy kids
anging from 10 to 20 years old, and have found a good local school (Eltham College) that<br />
captures some of the character of the Elstree Campus in both situation and academic<br />
excellence.<br />
The last few years have seen a lot of change. I left the oil industry and moved into the academic<br />
world. I am currently a Senior Research Scientist at Melbourne University, working on petroleum<br />
basins on Earth, and flows and volatiles on Mars. Unfortunately, my wife of 24 years died<br />
suddenly a couple of years ago and I am now trying to bring the kids up in the style and quality<br />
that she would have wanted.<br />
Australia remains a wonderful place, with great people in it, and we're working on the future...<br />

Christopher Norris, Calverts (1975-1982) updated August 2001<br />
I have trouble keeping up with my 'career': I seem to be the archetypal 'overnight success'. I<br />
have written six published books, co-written the script for the worlds' bestselling Princess Diana<br />
tribute video, created and executive produced a book series on LWT, helped to establish World<br />
Book Day in the UK, blah ... blah ... and I'm still in the 'One to Watch for the Future' category,<br />
the result of being on the wrong end of redundancies, industry politics and [in a few cases] the<br />
proverbial poker (e.g. the media has more than its fair share of charlatans). This lack of time<br />
and money explains the single marital status and the enduring entrepreneurial spirit. I'm<br />
currently part of the launch team for a new Internet business which aims to go live within the<br />
next 9-12 months: if it works I might be on first name terms with the likes of Jeff Bezos and Bill<br />
Gates; if it doesn't I'll still be on first name terms with the bloke at the newsagents and my<br />
mates down the pub. But as they say "the game's the thing", and life is always an adventure.<br />
No doubt you'll have no room to publish all the above waffle. The alternative version, at the<br />
other extreme, might be: "Writer, publisher and Internet executive", but contractions can be<br />
deceptive.
