I learn more about my father nearly every day now, and the memorial service for him was particularly rich in information and impressions. I had never imagined him in a boxing match before and felt greatly relieved that he was able to retire with honour with a bloody nose and avoid a severe beating. Gerard never distinguished himself at sport! This was in his days in the army, which he always spoke of warmly despite his lifelong opposition to warmongering and nuclear weapons.

The memorial ended with a performance of a movement from Mozart's sonata K310, beautifully played by Diana Ambache. Gerard did indeed love classical and contemporary music and I'm sure he would have appreciated his send-off.

The Triarchy group is getting going on Yahoo! and I'd like to echo Andrew's invitation to get involved if you are inspired to.
