The end of an era in many ways.
Sir M was such a charmer. He'd sit on the jumpseat and regale us with stories in the old days. Knew most of us by name and always had a kind word. Even hosted us for dinner at his house at least once that I recall.
Soon the five-digit staff numbers will be all gone and EK will have lost more than our current crop of leaders will ever realize.
Condolences to Claire and the family.
