Mildenhall Message Board: Knowhere Guide

at is being planned for Saturday 18th August 2007; the venue will be the assembly hall at Riverside School, basically where we had our morning assembly when it was Mildenhall Secondary Modern. We chose this date because the main holiday period is just over and it avoids the bank holiday weekend, and the weather should still be good.

I�ve been working out the details with Sheila (Butcher/Jackson) or Dilley as she is known now, and her husband Phil. John Turner is also involved in helping us.

Anybody that attended the old school during the 60�s and up to the name change is very welcome to attend. We are not being strict about who comes as long as they have a good time and don�t exact revenge on old childhood tormenters! Even if you didn�t attend but most of your friends are coming, well don�t be shy we�ll be glad to see you!

I am sending this letter out to everybody who signed up to Friends Reunited, but obviously there are a great number of people who are not computer literate. Now, we are in the process of trying gather as many names, addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses as we can, so that we can contact as many people as possible! Sheila and Phil are compiling a data base, any contact information that you think we should know about, please email it to sheiladilley@onetel.com
For those people who may have moved abroad or live far away, we want to give them as much notice as possible, so they can plan to attend if they wish. We want to see as many teachers that are still around too!

For my sins, I sing with a rock band called The Lash and I will be bringing the lads to inject some much needed entertainment into the proceedings, more details of my band are available at www.thelash.co.uk I am hoping there will be one if not two more bands joining us on the day. The final details are still being firmed up.

All that we ask is that you bring some food to share with your old school friends!

We are confident that a licensed bar will be available and have asked Mr Stewart Lyes from The Queens Arms, Mildenhall to help us with this.

Any queries about this event, I can be contacted at rik.lambert@ntlworld.com or 07851 457191. Sheila and Phil can be contacted at the above email address.

So to briefly summarise, it should be one of the best little parties that Mildenhall has seen for many a year!

See you all soon!
Rik Lambert

Is there anyone that can help me find Lorraine King. She also went by Lorraine Barber (one name was from het stepfather stationed at Mildenhall or Lakenheath). Lorraine met an american guy named Brian Hand at the Lakenheath high school in the later 80's. Lorraine married Brian and moved to the states around 1990.

Nigel Simson	by Nigel Thomas (Member 10080274) on 10-May-2007
Still looking for my old mate, we were RAF apprentices together 1969 to 1971 and I used to come up to get drunk etc etc at weekends. I lost your address when I got busted when I was in Germany. You'd be about 55 now. If anybody knows him please ask him to drop me a line. Re: Nigel Simson by Sheila Dilley (Member 10211844) on 4-Aug-2007 Hi Nigel, I came upon your message by chance when I was looking for something else. I hate to be the one to tell you , but Nigel died in 1977. I was a childhood friend , did he ever mention Sheila to you ? It took me ages getting over his death , he was like a brother to me .He had been down in London a while , and used to come back to Mildenhall when things got too much for him . The old drugs go t the better of him in the end , it was horrible to see him like that .He loved Hendrix and Dylan didn't he .He had a sense of humour that was unique, and we used to double up at stuff that nobody else could see as funny.I'll always love and miss him . Please feel free if you want to talk about Nij with me . Sheila ... more >> Re: Nigel Simson by Nigel Thomas (Member 10080274) on 12-Aug-2007 Hi Sheila, thanks for the information about Nigel. It was a little upsetting but not altogether unsurprising remembering what we used to get up to when I was stationed in East Anglia. He always was drawn to that lifestyle. I can't remember him mentioning you but I am sorry for the loss of a friend. I was lucky, when I was discharged from the RAF I found a good woman who kept me (relatively spe aking) on the straight and narrow. We celebrated our 30th anniversary last year. I have two sons now, Gavin@27 years and Chris@25 years. Again, thanks for taking the time to reply to my message. Nigel Thomas. ... more >> Re: Nigel Simson by Nigel Thomas (Member 10080274) on 12-Aug-2007 Three things I forgot to say in my 1st message, 1, We had the same stupid sense of humour (lucky as I was diagnosed with MS in '85, ,full time wheelchair operator by '92 ,life IS a big joke), 2, "Shine on you crazy diamond" & 3, leave your e-mail if you can handle the ramblings of a nearly geriatric hippy.

Large School Reunion	by Richard Lambert (Member 10197133) on 8-Nov-2006
Dear Long Lost School Friends My name is Rik Lambert, you probably knew me as Richard then, and Jed was my nick name due to the size of my American hillbilly boots that I wore when times were hard. I was also the infamous boy who ran onto the end of a javelin on the playing field. That�s enough about me for the moment.

Scott Rosshowden?	by LISA (Member 10177033) on 17-Jun-2006
I used to live in Mildenhall on Wren Close and I had a best friend I met one of those nights when everyone hangs out in the middle of Mildenhall. We were bestfriends for years, shared our sorrows and silly moments. His parents lived behind the queensarms on queenway. We never dated. One day, his girlfriend of a couple months got pregnant, he was happy about it, kept in touch and kept me updated on ce in a while, then it became less and less. I decided to call him and spoke to his mother. She said he never wanted to speak to me because he was starting a family now and she thought I would be in the way. I told her I wanted to hear this from him and she asked me to never call him again and I also never heard from him again. He was bestfriend. It broke my heart. I was hurt for a long time. It still pinchs when I think about it. It wasn't a heartbreak like a couple would feel, but it hurt as bad. I have never had closure. I was never able to find him after that. I ran into him once, with his wife and child, but he couldn't look at me in the face. I will never forget this. I don't walk around upset about this, but It's a spot in my heart that will never heal. If you know who you are, or you have an idea who this could be. His name is Scott and he drove around squirting old people with his windshield wipers fluid. It sounds silly, but it was funny. If someone knows who he is, let him know I need closure and he really hurt me. This happened about 8 years ago. I never wanted to get in the way, but I didn't think our longlived friendship was that worthless to him for him to never say anything in my face and prepare me for it. I had to hear it from his mom. I am no longer in England, but he can email me at DISCOSILVER1@YAHOO.COM. ... more >> Reply

My mum and dad were friends with a couple who lived at the bird in hand who had 2 sons, I remember playing with them and going there for tea. Somewhere I have a photo of the 2 boys taken together. I don't know if it's you who I am replying to or not. It was my grandads bike shop and he was called Charlie Clements, also my aunt Mary and uncle Gordon lived there too. I still live in Beck Row but my parents are dead so I can't ask them about those days.

Even better news about a photo - I have n one from that time tho' a fiend in Cambridge had a friend who was friends with the former postmistress who had a photo of us in fancy dress - I guess it was probably the time of the coronation - He was a lobster and I was a chef (I think we won first prize - 2/6 each) - but I never tracked it down.
