An extract from Mrs. Tina Bond's note to David Richardson: 'I'm sorry to have to tell you that my husband, R.J. ( Dick ) Bond died 23rd January 2006 at home in Fareham, Hants after being diagnosed with cancer nine months previously.
I'm not quite sure when he started at the school as things were rather unsettled over the war years but he left in 1948 to begin an apprenticeship at the R.A.E. His love of cricket & football was greatly encouraged at the school & he continued to follow those sports through into further education with avid spectating in later life'
