Daivd moved onto drugs and stealing cars and eventually as a prisoner in the Guantamino torture camp in Cuba. (Click on photo).
(above) It's a crime against students when their school is closed and left empty for vandals who along with developers destroy any trace of the past. Yet rich schools like St Peter's College have stayed operating for over a hundred years, their history retained.

More history destroyed of the working class as if the individuals never existed.
