The school has traced its owner across continents to Australia and revealed details about his family's past which was unknown.  The OF was Donald James "Jim" Macbride (S40-43) who also attended the College with his brother David (S38-42). The letter has fascinated the pupils of Sompting Abbotts school and will be placed on display and used as a 'real' teaching resource, with a special relevance to them as it was written to a fellow pupil so many years ago.

We are grateful to Sarah for sharing this fascinating story with us which you can read in full here. As you will read he was a stalwart of the Melbourne OFs and he and his brother's names are on the Melbourne Sundial presented to the College in March 1983 and now located in a quiet area by the old headmaster's house - see picture here

The obituary for "Jim" Macbride in 2003 can be viewed here.

Since his accident, Tim – who had been planning to become a lawyer – has rebuilt his life with adventures along the way which have included launching a clothing brand and endeavouring to find love with the help of a PUA (pick up artist). Over the past ten years, he has discovered life tools which have made him happier today than he has ever been and he’s now written a book called Timinology which is being published on March 12 (to coincide with Brain Awareness Week).  Tim says: “I view my accident as a blessing in an extraordinary disguise.”

The book can be pre ordered on Amazon here.
