"Dear Russell
I hope that this finds you in robust health -
I avoid the adjective 'rude' due to the double meaning. Shirley and I are
creaking along, and I do mean creaking.
You may not be aware of the death of a
pre-war member, Trevor Denham, an old friend of ours, last month. He was born
September 1920 and often spoke fondly of his years at HGS, though I never took
enough notice to write an obituary.
I realise that you are no longer Secretary of
HOBA but you will know who is and shall be grateful if you will pass this to
him.
Graham"
