Subject: July 2026 "Bushy Tales" Special Note
from Bill Rumble (57), Editor:
Greetings to all Bushy Park Graduates and attendees,
Wishing you a Happy 250th Anniversary of the 4th of July, Independence Day!
I apologize for the delay in sending out the July 2026 “Bushy Tales”.
My wife, Barb, has been dealing with a few heart issues in the last month or so. She has a first heart ablation on May 28th. On June 18th she awakened me late at night and said her heart was pounding. I took her to the ER not far away. They determined that she was experiencing AFib, atrial fibulations, and by 3:00am on the 19th she was admitted to the hospital. She wound up remaining in the hosital until late afternoon on the 24th of June. On the 22nd, she had a second heart ablation. She still has leaking heart valves and AFib. Six days in hospital with 4 IVs and unable to get out of bed until once the day before she was discharged for a brief walk, she is still very weak, using a walker, and unable to do most of the things she has normally done around the house. I am picking up the slack.
The stress, added tasks, and limited sleep have taken a toll on my ability to do a few other things I have done regularly. These include the monthly newsletter, which takes several hours and another task I do weekly since the pandemic - prepare a Sunday Reflections for myself and a growing number of my Catholic friends. Barb and I became Catholics in 2010, after growing up Presbyterian and then several years of no church after our first marriages ended in divorce.
It is possible that I may have a problem with a timely newsletter publishing over the next few months. Barb is facing three or more additional heart procedures going forward. We are grateful that none will likely require open-heart surgery, like she had in 2002 to have her mitral valve repaired.
I pray for your understanding. Your prayers for Barb are appreciated 🙏🏻
THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO HAVE SUBMITTED STORIES AND PHOTOS OF YOUR MEMORIES OF LONDON CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL, BUSHY PARK, TEDDINGTON, ENGLAND, UK. Also, stories about your lives before and after Bushy Park. All is very interesting to each of us! 😊
It would be interesting to see photos of Bushy Park people when they were in their 80s, and today whether you are older or younger than 80! Any that you send to us will be shared in the newsletter.
We are so grateful to those who submitted stories and photos for EVERY “Bushy Tales” newsletter. They have brightened our spirits for one more month!
We don't have anything for the newsletter without your memories or current activities from our readers in the 1953 - 1962 class years. Eventually, the newsletter will f-a-a-a-a-de away. Just a fact we cannot change. 😌 Be inspired by this month’s writers!
NOTE:
Please send all content to be included in the newsletter to Bill Rumble (57) at: BushyTales1@verizon.net
It is a huge help for us when those emailing Pat Owen or Bill Rumble include your Graduation Class Year and your maiden name if married.

Hello, to all Bushy Park graduates, attendees, faculty and family,
• Welcome to 2026!
THANK YOU TO EACH OF YOU WHO HAVE SUBMITTED STORIES AND PHOTOS OF THEIR MEMORIES OF LONDON CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL, RAF BUSHY PARK, KINGSTON/TEDDINGTON, LONDON, UK. 😊
Without receiving your memories, or current activities, from our readers in the 1953 - 1962 class years, we have nothing for the newsletter. Eventually, the newsletter will f-a-a-a-a-de away. Just a fact we cannot change. 😌
We all have lived through an amazing period in our country’s history. And we are still doing so! Each person who attended Bushy Park traveled a different path to get there, each has had a different experience while they were there, and each has had a different path through life since leaving there. Take the plunge and give us a bit of your life, or all of it. No one will be judging you.
Each of us has a unique story. It may seem bland and uninteresting to you, but I am certain that others will think differently.
Any thoughts you have about your time in England and Bushy Park, no matter how brief, send them along. Also, descriptions of what you have done since leaving Bushy Park would also be interesting to others!
- Any photos you have and would like to share, send them along, too. You can just take a picture of your old photo and email it to me using your smart phone/tablet. No computer skills required. No scanning necessary.
- Any written narrative you wish to send to us can be easily corrected for grammar, punctuation, spelling, formatting, etc. No one else will ever know. What you see in the newsletter will be the wonderful story YOU want to tell. Pat Owen is outstanding at sorting these things out.
