Kazzyz - where you a student or teacher? I am currently trying to track some people down from 60's-70's but unsure what teachers are still alive today.

Hi, not sure if this is very helpful. My father George Llewellyn was a house parent at Windmill House for a number of years. I think we left in the early 60's.

Hi, I was in Hernes House in the 70's as well.  I remember when it was closed down, and why, as I was one of the last to leave.  I also remember a Karen from the home  :)  I'd love to connect with others who were in the home at that time as I often wonder what has become of everyone.
