BACK TO NEWSLETTER 2000 CONTENTS
My attention has just been drawn to your item in the 1988 Newsletter (if I hadn't employed an OC, I suppose I would never have noticed). However, It slightly prickled my conscience, and so this note is by way of creeping out of the woodwork.
To save you the suspense of reading all the way down, I am Reynolds, CRD (1956-61)
Since leaving Clayesmore, I spent several (many) happy years as a student at Edinburgh, leaving with a Zoology degree and a yet-to-be-completed PhD. I drifted into publishing, working at times freelance and for various companies including Kodak, Focal Press and Butterworths, and writing many boring books on cameras and related subjects.
In 1984, I joined the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (in Rome) as 'Chief, Special Writing", from whence I moved five years later to the World Meteorological Organization in Geneva as Chief of Publications. I am still here.
One reason for responding to your two-year old Gone Away was my amazement as to its minute size. Does this mean that you know where all the rest of us are, or simply that most of us vanished with so little trace (vide the e-mail from Paul Writer contained in the same issue) that there is no point in including them on the list?
I would be delighted to hear from any contemporaries who happen to be around the Geneva area, or passing through. When not here, I am usually to be found in the French alps or in Ireland.
I am writing this in my lunch break, hence the office return address. Should anyone wish to get in touch, my home e-mail address is beatrice.reynolds@eurospan.com.
As you might surmise from the e-mail address, I am married. We have one son, who is at Pembroke College, Oxford.
Keep up the good work.
Kind regards
Clyde R D Reynolds (56 - 61)
