If you're talking about Hugh Pender, why fart about with asterisks - just say so. (see my post above 'Naming names')
Fortunately I was one of HIS instructors and all he was around me was quite ambitious which was no reason to 'down him'.
What he did afterwards I only know by heresay (not heresy!).
It sounds as if he was impressively unimpressive, sadly often the case with our branch leaders with one or two notable exceptions. These were 'exceptional' and an absolute pleasure to work for - Paul Woodman for one and Vic Farci for another to name but two.
Am I allowed to name names if I'm saying good stuff, or am I to protect people who were a credit to their trade as well as the tossers?
