Jamie Cunningham (1970 - 1975) writes "One year shy of half a century since I’ve seen John Lyne (on the left) at Pangbourne College. I was over from New Hampshire (last October 2023), where I live, along with my partner Penni Kaufman visiting my good friend Jamie Stewart and his wife Su Stewart. The photo was taken at the Stewart’s home in Yeoford, Devon, just on the NE corner of Dartmoor. Jamie and I have kept in touch through the years, but John and I had to pack in a lot of catching up in one evening with a nice cook out and wine. We were at Pangbourne between 1970 and 1975. It was great to visit England again. I was last over in 1981 when I taught rock climbing at The National Centre for Mountain Activities, Plas y Brenen, Capel Curig in Northern Wales."
