Hi,

You might want to add your name, and the years you attended the various schools, to help any old friends reading this recognise you.

Good luck with your search,

Regards, David

Hi David

You were absolutely right. My name is Tom Dempster and I attended the garrison schools in the 50's and 60's. About than 3 years in total. Due to my turbulant childhood, my formal education was only short lived.I was placed from home to home until I ended up in the North Point Orphanage. Eventually my biological father took me back to his family. I was then placed into the Stanley Sea School where I learned to be a seaman etc. I do not wish to indulge too much about myself at the moment. Anyone who is my friend will recognise me by the above.

Any person/s who would like to correspond with me can be anyone who has had a rather 'out of the norm' childhood.

Regards

Tom
