I was a red "Lovetot" in the late 40's. 'Rough' Reeman was the head & a Quaker I think. He seemed massive with hair growing out of his ears & nose & a selection of canes by his desk. In the bad winters, in assembly he informed latecomers that if they came on the circular bus they would escape detention as it often got stuck in the snow. Many years later he began a local history course at the sheffield museum and on the first night he was late & as I opened the door I saw this small elderly man with a few snowflakes on his hat who apologised for being late. I said it was allright if he had come on the circular bus. He looked at me in amazement and I had to explain. A very nice gentleman.

This is interesting my Dad went to Greystones in the early 50's, I have a few of his school pictures, but he died when I was young so I know very little about him. His name was Walter Ross Fletcher. Where was the school actually located?

[horseman 10]

as the name implies Greystones S.E. was on Graystones rd.

off Ecclesall rd. near Endcliffe Park. But i'm sorry I don't

recall a Walter Ross Fletcher. may be I'm getting old!
