We have received the following from Edward’s daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please note the death of my father aged 95.\u00a0 He attended the College from the late 1930s with his brother Ronald and his future brothers-in-law Denis and Edwin Guy.\u00a0 He always spoke very warmly and highly of his time there,most especially of being taught by Jackson Page.\u00a0 He took organ lessons at school in Lake Chapel and was a church organist\u00a0until relatively recently. He went straight to Oxford on leaving in 1942 I believe, where he joined the university Air Squadron to begin his training as an RAF pilot to fly Lancasters for the rest of the war. It took him many years to return to academic work as a mature student completing his undergraduate degree at Oxford in Geography and finally his PhD in Geomorphology there at the age of 70.\u00a0 His topic was the nature\u00a0and origins of Chesil Beach a subject of fascination to him from childhood as Portland was his family home.
He was President of the OSA for one year in the late 1990s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
