Guestbook

  1. A beautiful tribute to an honourable, clever, witty, loving man. He listened carefully and responded wisely to everyone he talked to. Ian leaves a wonderful legacy in the education world, and his lovely family. We all benefited from his presence....not least of which includes from the backseat of the Mondeo as we travelled the length of France!! Did I mention cheeky? Love to all Robyn
