Headmaster Royds from Timothy Kinahan

Kenneth


Thank you so very much for this - very moving, and very true.


I only once had the privelege of meeting with John, but it was for a week,

travelling with him to and around Ethiopia - in the mid 1990's, I think.But

I have spken to him many times since. Looking at him from this side of the

pond, through my Irish eyes, I saw a quintessentially English gentleman,

probably the last and best of his breed, full of warmth, dignity and wry

humour (which was, I gather, apparent to the very last).


Ethiopia (and many tohers) has lost true friend.


Tim
