TO date I have found 19 of the people I am looking for and, hopefully, with the help of Citizen readers I will find many more.

In September 1950, 32 children aged 11 to 13 gathered in Maidstone for the beginning of the Kent Junior Music School and there is to be a reunion and celebration of the school's founding in September 2000 in Maidstone.

If anyone knows the whereabouts of, or has information on any of these people, please contact me or draw this letter to their attention.

I can be reached at 24b Bedford Grove, Eastbourne BN12 2DU, telephone (01323) 642116, or e-mail me at

Peter Mayes, Eastbourne.
