"He was far more than a teacher..."

Was at Port Glasgow at the weekend and my dad showed me an article in the Greenock telegraph about Mr Barr and a link to this page.

Brings back so many fantastic memories of my trip to Sicily.

Such a life changing experience and one i shall never forget.

Everything we did, see, touch, experience is something money can't buy.

Memories of the Vatican, Pompeii, Etna, volcanoes and the overall experience.

Sleeping under the stars on a warm Sicily night !!!! 

(Unaware of wild pigs till Mr Barr told us in the morning)

Re Mr Barr- For me they don't make teachers like that anymore - He was far more that a teacher - he was a legend. total respect for all he did for me, the school and all other pupils who experienced him.

Would be so fantastic to see the Full box of stuff from the 1979 trip.

Glad to see trying to find a place for the records to be viewed. I so hope that comes to fruition.

I still tell my kids about the trip to this day................

My mum passed away two years ago and i found old Telegraph clip of the photo above.

If anyone else has any pics of 1979 Sicily trip it would be fantastic to see them.

Cheers
