You know what, you could be right about it being a match from Junior school days, which is a bit disconcerting as I like to think my memory is sound. I have changed the name to protect his identity.<br /><br />Thank you for your kind words about my career which has never really felt like a career, as such. Despite my feelings about my education - and I undoubtedly have a chip on my shoulder about it - I have great memories of the people I was at school with. <br /><br />Would be great to know who you are. I'll go for a wild guess as you have put B at the end - Bill Tulip?Jeremy Swainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06483917462413015323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9064685296474160548.post-26462843148670864852013-04-22T18:36:56.265+01:002013-04-22T18:36:56.265+01:00Hello Jeremy! I read with interest your account of...Hello Jeremy! I read with interest your account of school and re-aquainting yourself with "W.B." I assume you have changed his name in order to protect his true identity but of course that does not detract from the essence of your recollections and the obvious turmoil of the emotions you felt! I am an old friend of yours that goes way back.....past "wrothmond" and Rick Wakeman, past "shepherd's walk" and Donavan and indeed to that football game, which actually was in the juniors not the secondary modern. But no matter we are all over 54 now ha ha! our memories are failing and bits are dropping off...I have watched from a distance your career as you have been working for some time and in the public domain and I have felt some pride that you have got to where you have from our beginnings! you may have guessed who I am but maybe not? I even went to the sixth form with you and there our ways parted, regretfully for me. You have often been in my thoughts and I remember you with fondness, and your Mum,(R) Dad,(R) and Sister (L) I live in Devon now and will write again if you want me to...we can catch up or reminisce...cheers.......B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9064685296474160548.post-69800642046827167862012-03-17T10:38:14.317+00:002012-03-17T10:38:14.317+00:00Melliemel - I wish I had more time for writing but...Melliemel - I wish I had more time for writing but there is the day job so it's just the blog and Inside Housing though I've had bits and pieces published elsewhere such as the Big Issue.

While I may not entirely agree with your views on giving money to beggars and soup runs, I do understand where you are coming from. I am always moved by your reflections but also by your writing style which conveys powerful truths in a simple, yet straight forward way. I wonder if you do any creative writing at all?melliemelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292785222648614757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9064685296474160548.post-78222996258411766992011-06-06T19:57:54.608+01:002011-06-06T19:57:54.608+01:00Very interesting story to read.

Intend to do a blog shortly on what it is that enables people who have been homeless for years and seem to all intents and purposes doomed to a life of homelessness, escape this existence and lead fulfilling, happy lives.
