Class of 1960s

Peter Campbell Applied Physics 1963
My degree from Brighton College of Technology has been the underpinning of a career in high technology/electronics throughout my entire working life. I am now semi-retired, doing part time technical marketing. The broad scope of that course in the early sixties has served both my professional life, and my personal interests in attempting to know what makes our world work. Plus, living in Brighton itself during my studies reinforced my delight in being by the sea, and I now live right on Monterey Bay in Santa Cruz, another fun town with a university, and vibrant cultural scene.

Christine Goad  BEd Physical Education 1963
I taught at a Danish secondary school after graduating. I married in 1964 and continued teaching until the birth of our first son. In December 1966 my husband and I emigrated to Canada where I ran a keep fit club in an apartment block in Toronto. In 1971 we moved to Bowmanville, East of Toronto. I taught gymnastics at a night school and for a six-week summer school programme for a couple of years. I became involved with a nursery school in 1973 and ended up teaching at the school for the rest of my career. I gave up in 2002 when my husband was ill with cancer. My training stood me in good stead!

Michael Attwell BSc(Hons) Civil Engineering 1967
I started my career in Victoria Street with consultants Coode and Partners then went with them to Tanzania to work on an extension to Dar es Salaam harbour. I spent 25 years with Taylor Woodrow including work on Brighton Marina and finishing as a Director of one of their group companies specialising in multidisciplinary design, construct project management and contracting.

Gerald Miller DMS Business 1969
I attended the Diploma in Management in 1968/69.  I had just returned from three yesrs service in Malta as a civil servant in the then Admiralty. I was always grateful for my year at Brighton. Following that year I undertook a wide range of posts in the Ministry of Defence, including Secretary of the Naval Welfare Committee (1971-73),  the Senior Officers' War Course (1977) and Principal Director of Supplies and Transport responsible for a wide range of logistics for the Royal Navy. I also served in the Defence Secretariat.
