Susanna Spicer

Hans von Sponeck

(Priory and TU 1966-71)

(SU 1979-81)

(SU 1957)

James spent a year in Priory before becoming a founder member of Turner. After a gap year working in children’s homes, he read History at Oxford. A further gap year as an ambulance driver preceded Theological training in Cambridge (Ridley Hall and Selwyn) and a curacy in Watford. Married with four children he is now Bishop of Carlisle.

Susanna is a professional mezzo-soprano singer, who also teaches singing, both in schools and privately. A small-scale property developer on the side and erstwhile Marlburian Club President and Editor of this publication, she’s been a bit of a Jill-of-all-trades, but relishes them all, variety being the spice of life.

Against all odds, Hans joined the UN in 1968 when Germany had not yet been admitted to the UN. During 32 UN years he had assignments in Accra, New York, Ankara, Gaborone, Islamabad, New Delhi, Geneva and, lastly, as Assistant Secretary-General responsible for humanitarian programmes in Iraq. He still likes kippers!
