Adrian Noble an old friend of Bob Wellings whom he says, "does not stir much from his Norfolk home."

Adrian recalls his first day at KS:
The day in September 1958 that I arrived, following my interview earlier in the year with JHM, who clearly thought I was God’s gift to education (I only heard later the school was desperate to find a French teacher;) I parked my Ford Popular in the yard and was met by Roy Dennis, leg in plaster, who greeted me with, “Why on earth have you come to this place?” Then I met Peter Thomas, who extended the warm hospitality I had hoped for. He was a man of many gifts and infinite care for pupils and colleagues. When others might have exploded with rage the strongest language I ever heard from him was “Oh REALLY!!!!!!” Then Mr Wynn, seemingly nursing his ulcer, Matt Cummings and his wife, endlessly hospitable, endlessly dispensing Jamison’s water of life. Then in a caretaker’s shed, Dick O’Donnell, good humour and many rather absurd anecdotes, a philosophical outlook on King’s and its little ways. After I left I kept up with him and some years later I visited him in a school where he was Head of Science and definitely Dr O’Donnell. “The Head prefers it.” Then the pupils – many patient, amusing, tolerant etc. They were – still are - a good bunch of individuals.
