Some years ago I met an old school pal of mine, home from England for the burial of his brother. He put his arms around me and was on the brink of tears. He then put his hand out in the fashion of 65 years ago, ready to be caned by Brother Nicholas. He left for England as a young man, married and raised a fine family, God bless him. But he never forgot the beatings at the hands of Brother Nicholas. At last that sorry and cruel episide in our young lives is being exposed.
