Hi Bernard,
I'm not sure what his first name was.It would be a wonderful coincidence if it was the same guy. He taught me at Bowker Vale primary school from 1967 to 1971 and was still there years later.He was a great teacher and I often wonder what happened to him.I think there used to be a picture of him on Bowker vale's Friends reunited site. I'll have a look.If I find out more I'll let you know.
