Does anyone remember a teacher at Arusha School called Cosette Harris or Miss Harris who married another teacher called Neville Joy? This is my mother and she is in the early stages of dementia and the thing that brings her to life is her time in Arusha. She climbed Kilimanjaro in 1953 so was definitely there then but may have been there a few years before that.

I just want to be able to connect with her through someone that may remember her??? She had very thick black hair with very blue eyes and was quite beautiful. I think I have attached a picture but this is my first time on a forum.

I would love to hear from anyone at all.

Thanks

I understand from my publisher that it is now widely available again. The early ones were proof copies only.

I am unable to be at the conference unfortunately, I am working out in Vietnam so tied up contractwise until February.

Hi Richard, I have just come across this site and have so many memories of Tanganyika/Tanzania. Thanks for the photos on Flicker, some very interesting. I will have to find out how to get mine there to share. Have many from Arusha School, Tanga and Dar. Will keep an eye on this site for more news.  George

Terry was in Nachingwea from 61-65, and subsequently moved to Zimbabwe. He was best man at my wedding in 1966, and I would love to get in touch again. Does anyone know anything of him?

Not self promotion - just the sort of post to be encouraged.

Where can we get a copy - Amazon says out of stock?

Will you be at the GWEAA conference  in November? http://gweaa.com/

The picture above and the lovely girl to the right is IRIS Linck Nee KALOGERIS, my wonderful wife of 58 years. Her brother Byron (in the funny hat) died this morning in Troon Scotland. Kate, Byrons wife (Arusha school) died 2 years ago. Iris can be contacted on: irislinck@yahoo.com

Dear All,

At risk of being accused of self promotion, I thought this may be of interest to one or two of you.

Best Wishes

The following website http://www.cams.ac.tz/ is the school now and it contains a 1950 picha of some of the pupils in front of the school.

Reunion 2014


Saint Michael's Preparatory School for Boys

Soni, Tanganyika/Tanzania


1954 - 60th anniversary of school opening

1974 - 40th     "               "     "       closing

In the last 3 years Alistair Brown has organized the reunions in Oxford, England. Given the significance of the date 2014, Alistair has suggested this next one should be a big one and has already reserved the usual seats (and more?) at http://www.headoftheriveroxford.co.uk/ for Saturday 26th July 2014. Hopefully a large number will turn up for the day/weekend.

We have had over 30 'boys' plus friends and family at one previous reunion which was the largest ever gathering of Soni boys outside of the school.

Hello,

I went to this school but the have since changed the name twice to Stockley and finally to Canon Andrea Mwaka.

It was an amazingly beautiful school and the community was so diverse with up to 31 nationalities. Our principal was Mr. Warren Parker, then Mr. J.Horrocks.

My favourite teacher was Mrs.Window who taught us English and Literature. She is now a deacon in the Anglican Church. These are some of the most beautiful memories I have of my life.
