Can we solve the mystery of an old Ogley Hay influencer from the 60s?

A quick enquiry here from reader Ray who yesterday sent me in this headscratcher of a question which seems ideal for a Sunday.

Hi Bob

I was hoping you may have information that can help me out.

Whilst trying to put together the big influences in my life I found I could not remember one man. A teacher at Ogley Hay primary school back in 1964.

A final year teacher who taught mathematics to anyone who would listen. Any thoughts?

Now we’ve had quite a lot of photos of the Ogley Schools and class lineups in the past, and we’ve explored the history of these schools as material has come to light – but this has me baffled, I must say. Does anyone have any idea who this teacher might be?

There are a selection of Ogley Hay School posts here. Please take a look.

Previously I’ve featured an Ogley School staff image and also reader and local historian Andy Dennis has sent me a couple of lovely school group photos featuring his mother, thought to be from the 1936 sports event at Chase Terrace, which was mentioned by Peter ‘Pedro’ Cutler in comments to the same post.

If you can help Ray, please do comment on this post, mail me on BrownhillsBob at Googlemail dot com or give me a shout on social media.
