Jack & Tom's father was chaplain at Worksop College when I was Headteacher of a nearby primary school where their sister Claire was a pupil. She was a lovely pupil I lost touch with father when he went to Haberdasher Askes in the late 70s. Good luck to all of them. Sorry for my bad typing, old age & a stroke has left me with a useless left hand. And the Buckners were a lovely family.
