I have even called at the Oxford tourist office, but they have not been able to help me. I believe the address is on the red list. I would be grateful if you could kindly help me in any way.

He answered me, you can say to me if I have faults
"Excusez-moi, Je me suis mal exprimé, je voulais dire que je connaissais votre fils qui était à la Dragon School. Moi je ne suis jamais allé à la Dragon School. Malheureusement mes parents ne pouvaient pas me payer les frais de scolarité … Par contre j’avais des amis qui y étaient, et c’est comme çà que j’ai connu Florian. J’ai voulu reprendre contact avec eux, mais le directeur de l’école Mr J.R. Baugh, a refusé de m’aider, parce que je n’étais pas un ancien élève… (vous pouvez lui demandez, si vous voulez !) Vous êtes un ancien de la Dragon School, non ? J’ai toujours rêvait d’y aller, on m’a toujours dit que c’était plus qu’une école. Par contre si j’ai bien compris vous êtes son père ? Vous voulez savoir le plus drôle, c’est seulement depuis deux ans, que j’ai appris que le petit Florian Duerre que je connaissais et le Florian Duerre (écrivain), sont les même… En effet, il y a deux ans, j’ai passé deux semaines à Oxford, et avant d’y aller j’ai essayé de retrouver l’adresse d’anciens amis, pour leur rendre visite, mais ils avaient soit déménagé soit ils n’étaient pas dans l’annuaire… Et c’est lorsque j’ai demandé à une personne (sur Internet), qu’il m’a dit qu’il ne connaissait aucun de mes amis, sauf Florian. Mais c’était normal que je ne trouvais pas son adresse… Je lui ai demandé pourquoi, et il m’a répondu « C’est Florian Duerre » et il m’a envoyé ce lien ... Personnellement, je ne l’avais pas reconnu, dans mes souvenirs il était plus blond… J’ai voulu lui écrire pour le féliciter, mais je ne connaissais pas son adresse, et je me suis dit, qu’il ne devait même pas se souvenir de moi. Mais je vais peut être retourner en Angleterre bientôt, à Henley-on-Thames. J’essaye donc une nouvelle fois de retrouver mes anciens amis. Vous pouvez lui transmettre un message ? Je voulais juste avoir de ces nouvelles… Ps : Vous parlez français ?" Excuse me, I badly expressed myself, I meant that I knew your son who was in Dragon School. I I never went in Dragon School. Regrettably my parents could not pay me school fees … On the other hand I had friends who were there, and it is as çà that I knew Florian. I wanted to resume contact with them, but the Headmaster of the school, Mr J.R. Baugh, refused to help me,because I was not a past pupil (you can ask him, if you want!) you are a past pupil of Dragon School, are not you? I always have dreamed to go there, I was always told that it was more than a school. On the other hand if I understood well you are his father? You want to know the funniest, it is only for two years, that I learnt that the small Florian Duerre whom I knew and the Florian Duerre (writer), are even … Indeed, two years ago, I passed two weeks in Oxford, and before going there I tried to find the address of former friends, to visit them, but they had or moved or they were not in the phone book … And it is when I asked for one person (on Internet),that he said to me that he knew none of my friends, except Florian. But it was normal that I did not find his address … I asked him why, and he answered me " It is Florian Duerre " and he sent me this link... Personally, I had not recognized him, in my memories he was fairer … I wanted to write him to congratulate him, but I did not know his address, and I said myself, that he did not even have to remember me. But I go can be to return to England soon, to Henley-on-Thames. I thus try again to find my former friends. You can pass on to him a message? I just wanted to have of these news … ps:Do you speak french ? |

I’m sorry, I just didn’t express myself clearly. What I meant is that I know your son who used to attend the Dragon School. As far as I’m concerned, I’ve never been to Dragon School because unfortunately, my parents were not able to pay for my school fees. However, I know of some friends who have been there and that’s how I got to know Florian. I wanted to keep in touch in with them, but the school director, Mr J.R. Baugh, refused to help me because I wasn’t an ex-student (you can ask him if you wish!). You’re an ex-student of Dragon School, aren’t you? I’ve always dreamt of going there, I’ve always been told that’s it’s much more than just a school. So, if I’m not mistaken, you’re his father, aren’t you?
The funny thing is that, it’s been only two years now since I’ve understood that the little Florian Duerre whom I knew and the Florian Duerre (writer) are one and the same person… In fact, two years back, I’ve been to Oxford for two weeks and before going there, I’ve tried to look for addresses of old friends so as to pay them a visit, but they had either moved or they were not listed in the phone book… It’s when I asked someone (on the net) that the latter told me he knew none of my friends, except Florian and that it was not surprising that I wasn’t able to find Florian’s address. I asked him why and he said “It’s Florian Duerre” and he sent me this link… I personally didn’t recognize him – he appeared blonder in my memories… I wanted to write to him to congratulate him, but I didn’t know his address. I also told myself that he would most probably not remember me. But I’ll perhaps go back to England soon, to Henley-on-Thames. I’m trying once more to find my old friends. Could you pass on a message to him? I wanted to know how he’s doing… PS: Do you speak French? Last edited by NAR; 05-27-2007 at 11:52 AM. |
