Paul married Christine Levitt over 30 years ago and has lived in
Harpenden for the last 29 years. They have two children Abby, 25 and
Nick 22. Paul works in "the computer industry" and still
keeps in touch with Mick Heylin and Andy Millar and his wife Celia
Winfield who are also Old Apsleyans. Now young Christine was in the year
below Paul and 'our lot' and was an A stream pupil. She was
exceptionally attractive, and I am sure still is, and I have already
challenged Paul on how an ugly Taff such as he managed to win her.
Paul has offered no explanation. I remember Paul from school with a lot
of affection. He was a "good bloke" and joined in all and
any scams that were going. A lasting memory for me, when I
contemplate those early years, was how dapper and smart Paul always
looked. His clothes were always very clean and
regulation. Shoes were always polished and shone. Hair always neat
and tidy. He must have been the only boy in our year whose games kit
was ironed and even washed more than once a term. I have a sneaky
feeling that he even blanco'd his plimpsoles. He was relatively quiet
until he had had a drink or six. I have a vague recollection of Paul
breaking into song once or twice. I guess that was the
"Valley" in the man. Paul participated in the TOADS and
was a founder member. Paul sent me the above photograph
unsolicited. It was, he said, his employers latest photo of
him. You still look 'dapper' to me Taff and I bet you polish your
shoes every day! |
