Phoned up to speak with Antony Grey, to ask him to edit and publish SMF pamphlet. He’d done such a good job on Fishy Tales. A frail voice answered the phone. I stated my need. There was a pause.
“Antony died 4 years ago”, she said.
Always do what you say you will then and there, do not delay, Rachel

Dear Mrs Gray
I spoke to you on the telephone a few days ago, trying to locate Antony, to commission him to do another booklet I am compiling on behalf of the Community that were at New Hall. That was Fishy Tales.
I am writing to say that I am sorry for your loss. I clearly recall visiting your home, climbing up many stairs to your working room at the top of the house, with views right over London. I remember the desks were ordered with space to work, but framed with sharpened pencils and various pens. Antony was a pleasure to work with on the book. I regret not fulfilling a promise I made to him to take him to the iconic school. I am too late now – that was 10 years ago this year – but I can offer the same to you if you are interested or inclined.
