On an earlier post, I received a comment from a reader, who had been on holiday and noticed Bill's bench! He had noticed the inscription, searched for our site, and put two and two together!
What is amazing, is that Justin was taking a holiday in Cambodia, and Bill's gift to the school on leaving in 1964 had somehow migrated there some time after HHS closed!
After sending the above pics, Justin emailed me this: -
"How Fascinating!
I've emailed the owner of the yoga retreat - a French gentleman in his mid 60s, called Bruno. His resort is called Angkor Zen Gardens.
He said the bench was given to him by an Englishman, who had moved to Cambodia from South Africa....that joins a few more dots?!"
So, the big question is, did the benefactor go to HHS?
Most of the younger HHS boys would probably remember the bench; but where it was kept, I don't know. It may well have gone to Glengorse, and that place was a mystery to me anyway, so it could really have been anyone!
The plot thickens!
