Does anyone remember the Stock's children, Richard and Jennifer?  They were in my class at Kennedy Road School and Peak School?

hello my Name is Barb GABRIEL now Mackenzie and I was in the same class At KGV with Richard. I don’t really know much more except that his father was a Professor at HK U and we both shared an intense dislike for our Geography Teacher Miss Mamie McCorkindale! She was particularly unpleasant to Richard. 

I believe we were in the 4th and maybe 5th form together. (1963/64) I remember him with reddish gold hair and quite thick glasses.  I didn’t know his sister. 

Thanks

Hi Barb, judging by the dates you have given I think I have mis-remembered the surnames of the Richard and Jennifer I am thinking of.  The Richard I am thinking of was very blond, like his sister who was a bit younger and in the same class though they were not twins, and also very blond, and he didn't wear glasses..  Maybe their surname was Hodgson - and this was in the early 1950s at Kennedy Road School and then at Peak School.  I appreciate your posting as it has made me re-think what I remember.

I may have got the years wrong.. perhaps earlier 61/62 but defo his father was a Professor at HKU and Richard was very very fair - I have a feeling tho it was STOCKS not STOCK. He was a bright young lad. 

Cheers.
