An email from Lorna Winslow

I just happen to stumble upon this page while searching for something else. I was at Folkestone School of art the same time as you doing the Graphic course. My name is now Llewellyn, not Winslow. I remember John Dyke, John Lucus, Duncan, Ruth, a short guy called Tony, Desmond who I did bump into in London working near Smithfield Market, but we never got around to meeting up also Graham (think that was his name), a tall guy slightly older than the rest of us. Do you remember Sue, I am in contact with her and thats about all. What about John Parson's who taught us one day a week he was always drunk and had greasy hair, he would walk out of the class carrying a large bag and have a swig of something or other on the stairs.

It seems like a lifetime ago now! Lorna

This is part of my site The 'Gerald that I built in a fury of excitement when I first came to Folkestone in approximately 2004. I'd been a regular visitor for a while previous to that so I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. The site was a lot more dynamic with a calendar of events and voting for favourite venues and stuff, and I know it was a handy resource for others who were thinking of moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as Folkestone itself is now becoming the exciting place we knew it was just about to. I am not Gerald BTW, this comes from a pretend paper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are GRATE aren't they? Do contact me if you have anything to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
