Really Fond Memories of Brian when I worked with him for many years at Fletcher Humphreys a lovely kind man

A name that evoked so many memories. I knew Brian at Burnside High School. He and Mary (nee Travers) preceded Jim Bradley and myself as Head Prefects. They were special times as the school established itself. Brian to have been the first Head Boy was indeed special. He was a kind, gentle and much respected young man then, and I imagine that did not change. My thoughts and condolences are with the Hitchon Family. Suzanne Thurlow (nee Hay)
