Dick (Richard) Drown<br />
(WH 1942)<br />
School in Turi. In 1974, they returned<br />
to the UK and Dick took a job at New<br />
Milton’s Edinburgh House School, now<br />
Ballard School. During his 11 years<br />
there Dick was known for his capable,<br />
calm and gentle leadership.<br />
On his retirement he moved to<br />
Brockenhurst, Hampshire with the<br />
intention of taking things more slowly<br />
but soon became busy supporting<br />
the vicar, and continued to lead a very<br />
full life supporting his community,<br />

In May, our Alumni Office received<br />
a response to the Pre-1970s reunion<br />
invitation from our oldest living<br />
alumnus, Dick Drown (WH 1942).<br />
Dick wrote to explain that he was<br />
unable to attend the reunion due to<br />
moving to Kenya in June, to live with<br />

for Dick as he settles in to his new life<br />
and send him our very best wishes.<br />

moving to Kenya where Dick took on<br />
the role of headmaster of St Andrew’s
