Murnane, Ada England: 1952 - 1956
In 1952 I finished out a year in Funstanton for a teacher who was returning to the States - then the school year 1952 - 53 I was at Brize Norton. And finally in September 1953 we got into Eastcote - well, it was more like October/November 1953. There was much re-doing to make the Eastcote buildings into classrooms! I also taught primary grades in the new school at West Ruislip during 1956.
I'm one of the "old ones". Ana Lou and I always joked about being "peon labor" since we got no housing but our English husbands had houses for us and we really felt we had the best of two worlds - what with Air Force Exchange (AFEX), etc. We were lucky! And now that I'm considered a "Federal Employee", I thank my lucky stars that Mr. Kennedy and Keith Campbell hired me in 1952.
