Photo right: Paul and Roger - their happy exit from a pub during the final fling of our class to Littlehampton. Paul is Dr. Paul Bura, a long-time friend of mine ever since Imperial, who was based in Canada. He died in his sleep October 31, 2006 in Toronto. We last met at Montebello, Ontario at the ICENAE (Imperial College Exiles North America East) reunion in September 2005. Roger is Roger Champion who lives in Horsham, another friend with whom I have remained in contact ever since college days.
