Cities in Far Away Places

 

This section of the website is for ex-pupils to contribute to the Tower RevisitedIt is for those who have gone far away or have had interesting experiences in far away places during their life to tell us about it.

Many former pupils of Trinity High School have moved hundreds or thousand of miles from Northampton to live or to work in very different parts of the world.  This section of the website enables them to share their experiences with others from school days.

 

This section currently has items from 10 people who have gone far away:

Freda Baker (now Fred Skelton) lives in Turkey.  She and her husband moved there to retire, but after two years got offered a job, and now work 7 days per week during the season.
Bernard Brown left Trinity in 1964 and has lived a number of different places, but finally settled in Canada.  He describes life in Canada, with its extremes of temperature and the career that took him and keeps him there.
Chris Cork who has had a very interesting sounding life, and is an aid worker in places like Pakistan and Afghanistan.  Apart from some details about his life and experience, he has provided several interesting articles on living and travelling in Pakistan.  
Liz Dexter describes her route through various countries in the Far East ending up near Bangkok, and how she and her husband intend to stay there for their retirement.
Peter Douglas has been a regular contributor to this site, giving us plenty of memories of his days at school in the late 50's and early 60's.  Here he describes how he ended up in Albany, New York, where he lives with his Marilyn and works for the New York State Talking Book and Braille Library Cultural Education Center
Chris Kent moved to Las Vegas three years ago in a rush of buying a house and doing everything necessary in ten days.  Now she describes the lifestyle in the land of the hot sun and the real 24/7 society.
Patricia Major who is now Patricia Moore, describes the experiences she has gained working in Africa.  She has now worked on several assignments in Africa teaching children.  Her page was updated with the addition of her latest assignments in October 2007.
Bob Sanders who now lives in Australia.  He describes how he got there, and why he is now an Australian with strong affection for the UK. 
Graham Tilson who works in the United Arab Emirates, but who has also worked in New Zealand and Pakistan.  Graham describes how he got here, and where he plans to go when he retires.
