A word of reassurance to Tarboarders about Roger's legacy. We don't know the exact terms of his Will yet (to be revealed next week) but the Executor has told us that his AR heritage is explicitly provided for.
And for those who were wondering about his age, he was 79 when he died. The funeral was well-attended (particularly good since he had no close family) and a very nice service, paying tribute to his 41 years in the same Primary school in Bognor Regis, and his great influence as a trainer of young athletes for many years. The Sussex county youth team won many competitions under his guidance.
His Arthur Ransome connection was also remembered. For many years he took his class up to the Lakes for a week, and it was said to be the highlight of the year for each generation of children.
