Recorded 10 years ago

About this recording

As part of the Wick High School Memory Lane project Will Gunn reflects upon his three years at Wick High School from 1959 until 1962. He has fond memories of his time at school, particularly helping Dan the Janitor. He also reflects upon lunches of chips and beans bought at Houston's Chip Shop. He describes how he was given a week off school during the lambing season so that he could work at home on the farm.
