Recollections: Mr Baker writes: Among many happy memories of my time at Trinity (there are some sad ones too) was when Donald Swann (of Flanders & Swann fame) was guest of honour at a School concert. I played the piano and Stephen Meakins conducted "Requiem for the Living" written by him. He greatly appreciated our performance and really was a most pleasant chap. I told him that one of my daughters, having heard me speak of him, mistakenly remembered his name as "Donald Duck". I told him of this and he said "Oh it's not the first time". |

On an Interesting Note: More recently I went to a reunion organised by "old" pupils when I was amazed and humbled to be reminded that I was held in such high esteem by them. I felt similar emotions at being approached to present prizes tonight and it will be a pleasure. |
