Hebert McClain 1965/1968 I used to frequent at that time, the Kennet Lounge, with my girlfriend Glynis Cook. It was such a beautiful and friendly cozy place, even for Yanks. This is where I learned to drink Teacher Scotch Whisky. I returned in the late 80's when I was stationed in Ipswich, but it was not a pub. I am still looking for Glynis, we were to marry, but daddy hated Yanks, and they moved away.
