It Has Been A Privilege

After An Extensive Interview He Arranged For My Weaknesses In Foreign Languages To Be Over-looked And So I Started A Biology Degree At Birmingham In 1967.

At Age 11 In 1960, I Moved To An Academic State Secondary School, Harrow County Grammar School For Boys.

My Parents Were Born In Norfolk And Spent Their Early Years Working In The Big Houses Of That Rural English County, My Mother As A Cook And My Father As A Handyman And Chauffeur.

It Has Been A Privilege To Pursue Knowledge For Its Own Sake And To See How It Might Help Mankind In More Practical Ways.

My Parents Were Neither Wealthy Nor Academic, But We Lived Comfortably And They Were Always Extremely Supportive Of My Academic Efforts And Aspirations, Both At School And University.
