Dear webmaster, I have tried to post a message but must have pressed the wrong button. I am a former housemaster at Goldings. (Aberdeen House) and have attended one memorable re-union at Goldings. Since that time I have been in touch with several old Aberdonians. As I am now an octogenarian (did I spell that right?) I often make mistakes and have probably done this with my attempt at posting a message. Some instruction in simple terms would be appreciated. I was pleased to see that the photo of Aberdeen House that I sent to the "Guild" was shown on your Photo site. I am enjoying the Goldings site and congratulate you and your helpers for a fine job. Best wishes. Jack Johnstone.

I was delighted to see a photograph of a most distinguished group of young men in the "Houses" section. I speak, of course of "Aberdeen House". For my sins, I was appointed Housemaster of that handsome group and, on the wall of my computer room, I have an enlarged copy with as many names as I, with the help of Tom and Bill Cotton, John Hunt, Tod Hurd and Johnnie Leach, at the 1998 reunion. Jack Johnstone. Housemaster.late 1940's.

Mike "He who rides a tiger", was shot at Goldings in the sum/winter of 1964 and Terry Cain had a day with the film crew, which he did an article for the school magazine The Goldonian vol. XIX number 3 winter 1964. I will publish when the copyrights has been sorted out. Great time for me with loads of free Doughnuts sandwiches with coffee, plus if I remember in our house Cairns, we had a bet on the first one to see Judy Dench in bed topless. The film was directed by Mr C. Crighton, and was rated a B movie in the old days of black and white movies. Goldings was being used as an Orphanage. We still want to know who did the TDA on the old Jag that was used in the film ??
Frank Cooke 1964 to 67
