Dear Sirs!

Long time ago I stayed in London Ruislip; I think it was summer 1964, by the family Cooke. Mr. Cooke was a friend from my fathers school friend Mr. Powell Willy, he was a teacher in the City of London school. So I visited Martin Cooke. One year before he staid for some weeks in my home in Bad Ischl, Upper Austria, 50 km east from City of Salzburg.

I remember, we went with Martins school class for two weeks to Romney marsh, maybe Dymchurch. We lived there in an old military camp and we had a very nice time there. This was my first visit in England and I think very often to this time.

Now I have founded the sign from St.Nicholas Grammar Scholl from my old Blazer, I got one in the year 1964! Therefore I was looking for a homepage from this school, but I could not find any. I found the homepage from SNOBS and I will send you some pictures from the Holydays 1964.

From Martin Cooke I never heard anything after school, instead of Mr. Powell told me that he died young.

Maybe you are able to refresh my remembers from my time at your school, although it was only two weeks. But I was member of St. Nicholas Grammar School as well as I was there only for two weeks and I very often think and talk about that instructional time.

Hoping to receive a favourable answer.

Greetings from Austria, yours sincerely
Kurt Eckel
