I was there in the late sixsties and was in st Vincent's ( brown )house, after I left in 1968 I went back to school for a few months, I got in to trouble a few times over the next couple of years but settled down when I met my wife, I have been married for 40 years next year, and worked all my life, what we was taught in st George's kept me in good stead, Steve.
