I have an anecdote about Chris Athey that I would like to share(Learning and Development, 13 December-9 January). I think it was justlast year that I bumped into Pam Cubey in East Finchley high road aftershe had been visiting Chris Athey, who had not been well. She wantedsome 'take-away' menus for Chris as she wasn't able to cook, and Ivolunteered to take them to her. (I had met Pam Cubey in New Zealandwhen studying for my Masters at Pen Green.)
