I last communicated with ‘Basil’ in the 1990swhen I ordered a copy of his book on the history of the college.

He rememered meeting my mother and myself on the first day that I joined the college in Port Jackson division in September 1963. What a memory!

He later taught me history and I always looked forward to those lessons which he delivered with great enthusiasm. 

I always found it very pleasant to be in his company.

A really wonderful person.
