Edwin Morton R.I.P.

Edwin Morton



Sad news from friends here.

Here is a link to celebrate our chum, Edwin.

There was a Facebook reference, but this has been closed out for some reason!

The old HHS mags are a bit sketchy on many details, which is not really surprising I suppose, but a quick scan through the 1965 Edition, shows that Edwin was a member of the P.E Team, which made a display with 'Crichton, Docwra i, Dukes, Kell, Kyrke, Pender-Cudlipp, Ramsden, Scott, Tuite, Purser and Martin i...'!

Edwin was also in the 1964 Soccer team, - played 10, won 3, drawn 1, lost 7. The Team consisted of Morton, R.N.Seaward, S.T.Hickes, D.B.Kell, A.M.Scott, (Captain), R.H.J.V.Kyrke, Chrichton, Hickman i, Battersby, Dryborough-Smith and Martin i.

Edwin also gave the school a contribution to The Filter Fund, presumably because he, like most of us, rather liked the idea of swimming in water which was a bit clearer than of late..!

Edwin went on to Eastbourne College, where no doubt, there may well be other news from their Alumni Society!

In time-honoured fashion, our thoughts and condolences go out to his family and many friends.
