conversky Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Cactus Leach was a teacher at Rowlinson school in the early to mid 70's. He travelled to school on an old (even then) AJS motorbike and had a rolled up tent on the back which was rumoured to be his home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
