Sad news this week. John Hilton was the first boy to look after me when I arrived at Goldings, he kept my room tidy and made sure I got provisions from the kitchen etc. He got the princely sum of 2/6 a week, I was always too generous He always enjoyed reminding me at the reunions of the time he found a note which I had placed in a packet of cigarettes in my room which warned him of the consequences if any more cigarettes went missing. He will be sadly missed.
I was in Durham Cathedral this afternoon for my weekly visit. I just sit a while with my thoughts and memories, Alan Dearman was top of the list today.
Looking forward to the reunion.

so very sad to read of John Hilton's death. He was such a happy person, excellent company and always had a really corny joke to share. Sincere condolences to Rose, who so ably supported him through all of their years together.

I was so sad to hear the news about John. We were good friends at both Golding's and the reunions. At the reunions, John always asked me if I had cycled down to Hertford which was a reference to the days I did that on visiting after leaving Golding's. RIP
Further sad news I have to relay to you is that on a visit to the Hospital yesterday, it was confirmed that I have Advanced Pancreatic Cancer and it is inoperable. Next Sunday at 8.15am I have a hospital appointment for a biopsy and on receipt of the results I will know what kind of Chemotherapy I can have. I should have been in Spain this week but cancelled on my GP's advice as I had been fast tracked for these appointments.
In the mean time I will continue to live my every day life until such times as it is no longer possible and that includes being at this years reunion providing I put Diesel in the car instead of petrol like last year !!!
