Alex C.K. HSIEH (-1985) aged 31 in 1998. Alex went from Haberdashers to Queen’s College, Cambridge to read Mathematics. He was an excellent scholar and was ranked in the top five of the Part II Mathematical Tripos list. He was also a keen and natural bridge player, competing at national level for both school and university. He went on to take a masters degrees in theoretical physics and computer science at Stanford University, where he also became a committed Christian. While working for Oracle as a software engineer, he was diagnosed as having Hodgkin's Lymphoma which, sadly, led to his untimely death. (Text edited from the Queen's College web site) 1984 Andrew Hewitt (died 2003) 1982 Robert C MARTIN (1980-82) was tragically killed, in July 1986, whilst climbing in the Cuillin Hills on the Isle of Skye. As with all who have ventured in to the mountains, Robert had not only a great love and appreciation of their grandeur, but also a deep regard for their dangers. It seems bitterly ironic that such a tragic accident should have happened to a gifted and safety conscious mountaineer as Robert undoubtedly was. Robert attended the School for the two years of his sixth form education. In his short time, he achieved both academic and sporting success, becoming a prefect and representing the School at cross-country and athletics. At home, he was a member of the Harpenden Venture Scouts group, being its Chairman for a time. After leaving, Robert gained a degree from Goldsmith's College of London University, where he was president of the mountaineering club during his second year. Joining BP in Aberdeen, as a geologist, Robert was following in his father's footsteps, since the latter had been with the company over 30 years. 1981 James R. F. KENT (1976-1981) died on 7 September 1985, nine weeks before his 21st birthday. James was the son of John (1947-55) and Muriel Kent. In his five years in the Boarding House, James made a useful contribution to the life of the School. His sports were in particular swimming and javelin-throwing, but he was also a
cricket-scorer and his special talent was revealed in his meticulous work for the stagelighting team. He showed a real interest and much skill from a very early age with anything mechanical and, having decided against pursuing A-level courses after leaving school he found congenial work as a storeman at a garage close to his home in Petersfield, Hampshire and was able to devote much of his leisure time to working on cars and on his own and other people's motorbikes. He became known as something of a trouble-shooter who took extremely good care of his own machine and would take great pains to put to rights those of others, often working far into the night. He tuned and serviced the machines of two friends who raced at Brands Hatch and Snetterton and who were thus prepared to put their lives in his hands, a responsibility which he was well aware of and which he fully accepted. He was quite a well-known figure in Petersfield and had also recently become involved again with stage-lighting for amateur operatic and dramatic groups in the town. His careful car-driving and riding were a by-word among his friends, but on the evening of 6 September 1985 he was returning home on his motorbike along a country road when, having already negotiated a right-hand bend, he rode onto the grass verge, where he began to lose control of the machine. He almost regained control but was unable to avoid hitting a wooden fence, which he demolished. He was flung off and tragically, his crash-helmet came off - it was found still correctly done up, 40 yards along the road - and he sustained such severe head injuries that he died in hospital three hours later. No other vehicle was involved and it appears most probable that he took action to avoid an animal or animals on the road, of which drivers are warned in that area. James' popularity can be gauged from the fact that nearly 200 people, many of them of his own age, attended the Service of Thanksgiving for his life. Among those present were Nobbly Tanner and Mr David Davies representing the School, who gave the address. The Association extends sympathy to his parents, John and Muriel and his sister Catherine on their tragic loss.
