Despatches
Roger Thomas (50-58) writes that he was "impressed" (excuse me, I'd like to read that again) by "Despatches" in the last Newsletter. Bill Forster (48-58), Colin Barrable (51-56), Dr John Harrison (47-58) were all his classmates and news of "longer-term" ORs such as Tony Ford (47-48) was also good to read. "Any news of Chris Hirtes (51-58)?" he asks. Roger and his brother Alan have developed their own hotel (www.peninsulabeachresort.com) in the bliss of Bali where they both spend most of the year. An OR refugees returning from England's cricket debacle down under would have found happier times staying chez Roger. But he is coming to the OR Reunion this year to catch up with his contemporaries then.
