Philip Powell (1962-71)

Joining Jill and Doron on the 14th episode of the podcast, to tell us his story, is Philip Powell (1962-71), our first guest (save Jeremy Rosen) to also have been a Carmel parent, when his daughter Lauren became a pupil in the '90s. Philip and his younger brother Jonathan, also a Carmel alumnus, worked in ladies fashion accessories.  Philip now lives in Redbridge, Essex with Stephanie, his wife of 18 years. Hear Philip talk about girls, girls, girls arriving at Carmel, meeting Maggie Thatcher on Prize Day, scoring tickets to watch Benfica play at Wembley with Mr. Barr Taylor, and how Mrs. Evans made him blush.   Thank you, Philip Powell, for turning us again to Carmel days! Dedication: at Philip's request, this episode is dedicated to the memory of his favorite teacher, Anthony Barr Taylor, who in his multiple roles as biology teacher, coach of girls' field hockey and of horse-riding, as well as one-time housemaster, had an outsize impact on Carmel, where he taught from 1953 to 1995.   Personal mentions in this episode: Dr. David Stamler (Headmaster) Rabbi Jeremy Rosen (Headmaster) Philip Skelker (Headmaster) Anthony Barr Taylor (Biology) Mary Evans (Mathematics) Hugh Oakley (Spanish) Mrs. Pennistone Jonathan Powell Peter Moore Steven Graham Daniel Gance Mark Magidson Marylin Evans Lauren (Powell) Franks Gary Casson Susan Seroya Paul Bond Lee Berger Mitchell Landau   Feel free to leave a comment letting us know what you liked about this episode, and rate us on your favorite podcast platform 🙏🏼   To tell us your story, email us at [email protected] / [email protected]
