I met Ivor Broom when I was OC Admin at Wyton and he was Chairman of the Pathfinder Association, and we were organising the Pathfinder 50th Anniversary. A kinder and more pleasant man it is difficult to imagine. I recall him walking out of Warboys Church after the unveiling of the memorial there with our then 3 year old on his shoulders. I had to ring him on one occasion and Lady Broom apologised for his absence, explaining he was playing 2 rounds at Moor Park - he was then if not in his 90s, nearly so. I have a copy of his biography on my bookshelf with a warm note of thanks for my involvement with the 50th Anniversary weekend. A most memorable man
