Hi, I was a student at Moorclose Secondary Modern School, leaving in 1959. I served an apprenticeship in tool making with Hawker Siddeley and then joined the research dept to eventually become technologist team leader with a PHd in Particle physics. Migrating in 1977 to Australia and after gaining my builder's ticket I built 54 houses for clients. I also established a furniture manufacturing company and made 10,000 leather lounges in 23 years. I am now approaching 80YO.
I would like to express my gratitude to the Moorclose Sec Mod School for the education and technical ability I gained whilst attending.
Many thanks, Graham Robert Greenhalgh. — fore…@gmail.comreveal
