OBITUARIES
 
We have recieved the following news from Richard Holiday.
 
GUY INMAN.  Ravenswood circa 1953 - 1958 sadly passed away in March 2008, Aldershot, of  Bowel Cancer. 
 
 
We are grateful to Mr Richard Mackie for the following contribution.......
 
"ORs may be interested to read brief obituaries on two Ravenswood boys, one from the early days - 1931-1934 - and the other from wartime 1941~45.

 Michael Stern was born in Egypt in 1922. His father was murdered in Iraq in 1931 and Michael was sent to Ravenswood by grandparents who lived in Dartmouth. Whilst teaching at Bedales as a young man he was attracted by an article by Trevor Huddleston and was subsequently appointed head of an African school in Johannesburg. Unable to run a multi-race school because of apartheid, he started his own school in Swaziland, amid hostility from the South African government. He persevered, however, and over ten years created a school that became an African legend.

 Robert Kennedy and Richard Attenborough were strong supporters, while Nelson Mandela (in prison) sent his two daughters there. The Tutu family sent their children as did Seretse Kharna, ruler of Botswana. Matthew Parris was head boy at one time. The Times reported 'the school (Waterford) became his life's work; its successful balance of boys and girls of all races, tribes and religions, became the fulfillment of his dream'. He retired to Hampshire and was still teaching Latin at Bedales at 80 years old.

 Michael Stem OBE was born in Alexandria on 3anuary 13, 1922. He died in a car accident near Hindhead on July 14 2002, aged 80..

 

Tony Clegg-Hill was sent to Ravenswood with his brother Billy in 1942 after leaving King's Taunton Junior School (now Pyrland Hall). His father was Viscount Hill and when asked what he would do when he grew up, be would reply 'I will take my seat in the House of Lords'! Tony won a scholarship to Kelly where he excelled in work and sport, becoming Head Boy in 1945. From University he went into the army. After Billy's tragic death in the army in 1962, Tony resigned his commission and took up market gardening near Bournemouth. He became Viscount Hill in due course, but severed connections with Ravenswood and Kelly. We were unable to persuade him to attend earlier reunions.

 Antony Raymond Hill (8th Viscount Hill) died at Bournemouth Hospital in March 2003 aged 71"
