After leaving JFS with a 'broken heart' (my girlfriend dumped me!) and a poor attempt at doing A levels I found my way into a temporary job that was supposed to be a stop gap. Some 29 years later I'm still there!! I was working from what was then called the Department of Health and Social Security and have been through it's metamorphosis into the Department for Works and Pensions. In that time I have many and varied jobs. Latterly I have been travelling for the DWP extensively around the country on the IT Infrastructure side (as opposed to benefits). That's enough of work.

In 1979 I met my future first wife, Sara, married in 1983 and divorced in about 1998 (I think). We have 3 kids, Jamie, soon to be 18, and carbon copy of me (poor boy!). He went to JFS and is now studying IT stuff (too technical for me) at Stanmore College, he wants to go to Uni, not sure whether here or Israel. My daughter Leeor, soon to be 14, currently attends the new JFS in Kenton. Having a ball of a time. She's very fickle!- A woman's privilege. Last time we discussed careers she wanted to be a forensic lawyer??? Finally, Tamir aged 10 going on 25. He's inherited a lot of his mothers fiery Israeli genes and is a real 'loveable rogue!!

I remarried in 2002 to an ex JFS girl, Sue Bernett, as she was known at school. She probably would have been in the first year when I was in the 6th! She has 3 sons, Dan, 20, at Uni studying French, James, 18, studying women, and Mitchell, 14, who also is at the new JFS in Kenton. So you can see it's a bit like the Brady Bunch!!

We currently live in Kenton. We both are regular gym freaks. I also still attempt playing football - badly, but hey, what the heck I still enjoy it! Also enjoy the now regular get togethers with old RW classmates.
