Dick passed the baton to me as President of the Miranda, Star of the Sea School P&F but served on as Vice President to help me, as a newcomer to the Parish, organise support for the School and its teachers. Dick's youngest, Peter, was in the same class as my eldest, Laurie, so I was a logical choice for a successor. Dick was a great supporter of all the schools his children attended and of the Star of the Sea Parish at Miranda. It will be hard to find replacements for a man who was so involved as Dick.
