The U15A XV from 1961, where are they now?

Dr John Wyatt (W, 1963) sent in the enclosed photo of the 1961 U15 Rugby XV to Nicky Bicket (F, 1973), which included himself (John) and an OD that recently passed away, Waine Lawton (F, 1965). 

In the photograph are several other memorable names, which Nicky says: " ... even to me ... and I only started at the Pre-Prep in 1962 (it's inaugural year) six months after this photo was taken".

The suggestion is we start a "Where-are-they-now?" section in the magazine for ODs over 65!

Please let us know, by writing to Paul Murray at the archives or Nicky Bicket from of the UK ODs.
