Greetings From Henry
& June Boston
Who Live In Canada
I was on the teaching staff of St. Michael's from September 1961 to July 1962. Our son Stephen was a boarder and our daughter Alison attended the school. Alison now lives in Montreal, Stephen lives in Victoria
In our third term at St. Michael's, summer 1962, my wife, June, was asked by Rev. Roger Pott to take charge of the Girls House at Fridham, Our son Tom was too young for St. Michael's, and therefore attended the village school, but he moved into Fridham as well.. It was through Tom that we became aware of the Old Michaelian Association. He found you whilst surfing the net.
I was ordained in the Church of England at Rochester, Kent, deacon 1942 and Priest in 1943, but had misgivings about my vocation and joined the United Church of Canada in 1960. There were problems which led me to come back to England to think things over and in Heacham one Sunday I attended the Methodist Church where I heard a sermon on the text: "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?"
Then I said, "Here am I! Send me." Isaiah 6.8. This resolved my problems and I returned to the United Church of Canada until I retired in 1982.

Greetings from Victoria B.C. where we have been living since 1985. It has been interesting reading your www.
So much of it! I remember very well my one term being 'in charge' of Fridham Over the years I have wondered who actually was 'in charge'! It is an experience I shall never forget!! Especially the time hearing running on the gravel driveway & then with a flashlight checking the dorms. Some empty beds, Panic.
