Boston-based Bradfordian Vincent Finn is currently back in his home town. He brought in this photograph of his class at St Bede’s Grammar School in 1951-52.
Vincent, seated to the right of form teacher Tom K Dooley, who he recalls was a “smashing fellah” who regaled the boys with tales of his experiences in Egypt as a soldier during the Second World War, and became a famous amateur boxing referee.
Just behind Mr Dooley’s left shoulder is Danny Brennan, who went into the law, graduating from Manchester University and becaming a renowned QC, Lord Bibury.
Vincent can identify most of the 14-year-olds. He wants to build up a website dedicated to this aspect of his past.
If you can help, he’s on finn.vincent@gmail.com or 001 617 469 0965.
