David Williams (G 57-60) has written following the last Bulletin:

“I don’t think I have ever read a Bulletin with so many names I knew to one degree or another though sadly some in the obituary column. I was in the same form as Peter Dixon, and David Newlove and I think Bill Fisher was a year ahead though we were in the same dorm on Meadow. Others I remember, some of whom I knew on Grindal are George Robson, Dacre Watson, Barry Lancaster, Chris Pellant, Tim Brown, Bill Dove, John McBryde and Hugh Redway through his brother Marcus.
Eric Middleton taught me chemistry and, with Mr Hall (physics), has given me a lifelong interest in science.

On leaving I went on to qualify as a chartered accountant working my way up the firm until we merged with BDO Binder Hamlyn, then becoming the senior partner of the Teesside offices. I stood down as a partner in 1990 to allow others to move up and I concentrated on client work with less hassle. I left them in 2003 to join the Yuill Group, which was mainly a large firm of housebuilders in the north-east, as a director. Their main housebuilding side was bought out three years later but I remain a director of the various companies left, and at the age of 80 I still find it most interesting. I have lived permanently in the Yorkshire Dales since 1982.

I was a Governor of Barnard Castle School for many years and vice chair for some time.

I am always pleased to see anyone who may remember me if passing this way (Arkengarthdale).”
