Waiting for the train back to Sicily, or something less sinister?
If you know these two people leave a message
in the Guestbook, please, or just phone the police.

Bernard wrote to say that they are Seamus Watters (left, Eire)
and Ian (or John) Petit in Enniskillen 1962/63

Terence Pettit (double tee) was at The Priory during my time (1955-7).
He organised 'The Pelicans' during the 60's.  It would be nice
to let him know how things turned out.

Does anyone know what became of him?
He was last seen at a Priory Reunion in 1965
(with Paul Tait, Mick Mearns and John Healey (from Heston WF Parish)
when John Fowles was Father Superior.

Are you out there, Terence, Paul and Mick?
(Two knocks for No).
