Dear all,Just a few Lines to let you know i lost my brother Ken quite suddenly on the 25th jan,if anyone who remembers him and would like to contact me please do.(DDbl34@aol.com)

I am trying on behalf of John Bretton to find out if there is anyone who remembers him from his time at William Torbitt School, he was there from 1946 to 1952. John now lives in New Orleans and I have traced him after a 2 year search he was a friend of mine at a cycling group in the 1950-1960's in the Ilford area. He used to live in Newbury Park and had a brother Peter and sister Hazel. He is interested in any news from people who knew him. I can be contacted email thomas@squaredancer.freeserve.co.uk Tom Pettengell

A long time ago there was a graveyard and now if you go into the school at a disco or in the evening and you say bad words dead people come and if you walk with them you die instantly. ".

Nisha - I've never heard of any such ghost tale or graveyard and think your friend is just trying to frighten you.

I attended William Torbitt from 1994 up to 2000. When i left i had so many good memories of school in general, trips, concerts (yes,i played a duck in year 5). REMINDER TO AVNISH (He was in my class from year 3 until the end of high school)- Our teachers taught us English skills- use them! HA HA! It would be really nice to hear from people who i went to school with as well as people who attended before and after (for those who may be interested my mum is Ann Medland, my sister is Alex Curtis(1980>1991), my uncle is Stan medland and my great aunts are Laura Nicholls and Barb Nicholls) it would be nice to hear form people who know of them and me!
