I was saddened to read of the death of my college lecturer whom we knew as Harry Patterson. As students in the late Sixties at Leeds College of Commerce he was our most inspiring lecturer. We still remember his enthusiasm and energy and have always been honoured to think that we were taught by the soon to become renowned Jack Higgins.                                                                                                             Sincere condolences to his family.                                                                                           Margaret Davis…
