Whitgift teacher stumbled across OW (1930 – 1935) and Reverend Felix Vivian Allan Boyse celebrating his 102nd birthday while camping with his wife over the summer.
The unexpected reunion took place at St. Peter and St. Pauls Church in West Wittering. “We went to Evensong as my wife sings in our church choir and I was amazed to see someone in a Whitgift blazer,” the Commonwealth Epee Champion and OW (1997 – 1999), Dudley Tredger explains.
The church held a Choral Evensong to celebrate the Reverend who has served as a priest for seventy-six years. After the service former French teacher and Archivist; Julian Kennedy-Cooke (1953 – 1989), OW Nigel Carter (1953 – 1962), OW Richard Blundell (1956 – 1973) and Reverend Boyse shared memories of Whitgift with Dudley, now the Senior Academic Manager and Economics teacher.
