I suppose I must have known Peter for >70 years. Nearly all my parent's friends, like the Spillets, were in China during or after WWII, all the kids had an English father and a Chinese mother. Peter was older, bigger, cleverer and more hard working as pointed out by mother in traditional Chinese mother style after every visit. We both studied Biology, although he was macro and I was micro. As it happened we shared some similar interests in the environment, bird photography and football. I never got round to asking his advice about how to handle TW and contamination of my local River Lea, his photography was better than mine, but I fell he was rather let down by the decision to support Arsenal ( inherited from his father) rather than Manchester City, a minor victory! RIP Peter.
