Dr. Gill, what a wonderful man he was. If I remember rightly, it was he who discovered that cockles changed sex halfway through their lives!
Mr. Bettis, taught me maths where everyone else failed (fourth year!)
Miss Buchanan, Gave me a love for art, the passion for not giving up, and a passion for the soft west coast scottish accent, coupled with the unrequited love for the older woman! *sighs*

Mr Searle, indeed taught me music, but I cannot find any mention of Mr Frayen :notworthy: The music teacher who taught his two sons, one who ended up as lead Violinist in the LPO and the other who was lead Cellist in the LSO. We were absolutely horrid to that great man, and I feel deeply ashamed of how he was treated, but remembering him always brings a smile to my face.
"Vor two housepoints... Who can tell me vhat two pieces ov muzik are being played" He would then take out his melodean or some other quirky piece if Austrian folk instrument, and play two entirely different pieces of music, different keys, and different timings, at the same time.
A Bloody Genius. Thank you Mr Frayen
