Ian's Story
Hi,
Been a while! I have some vivid memories of Grantham - most of them positive. I liked the school so much I spent 6 years there, instead of 5. Anyway, Doreen and I were married in 1971, and moved to the land of the long white cloud (New Zealand) - where we still reside. We have one daughter, Yvonne, a prolific writer of children's fiction.

Kia Ora,
Ian
