hello my Name is Barb GABRIEL now Mackenzie and I was in the same class At KGV with Richard. I don’t really know much more except that his father was a Professor at HK U and we both shared an intense dislike for our Geography Teacher Miss Mamie McCorkindale! She was particularly unpleasant to Richard.
I believe we were in the 4th and maybe 5th form together. (1963/64) I remember him with reddish gold hair and quite thick glasses. I didn’t know his sister.
Hi Barb, judging by the dates you have given I think I have mis-remembered the surnames of the Richard and Jennifer I am thinking of. The Richard I am thinking of was very blond, like his sister who was a bit younger and in the same class though they were not twins, and also very blond, and he didn't wear glasses.. Maybe their surname was Hodgson - and this was in the early 1950s at Kennedy Road School and then at Peak School. I appreciate your posting as it has made me re-think what I remember.
I may have got the years wrong.. perhaps earlier 61/62 but defo his father was a Professor at HKU and Richard was very very fair - I have a feeling tho it was STOCKS not STOCK. He was a bright young lad.
Probably mid 1950s. Front row right my younger brother Laurence. Front row left I think think is Rosamund Hodgson (sister of Richard, Jennifer, William and Randolph. Father was Prof of Medicine at HKU.) I went to Glenealy School and KGV. Left HK in 1965. Lived at 2 University Drive (campus). Miriam (Kirby).

Richard and Jennifer Stock
Does anyone remember the Stock's children, Richard and Jennifer? They were in my class at Kennedy Road School and Peak School?

My error: am I thinking of Richard and Jennifer Hodgson?
