wife Tanya. Other former members of the Masters' Common Room now in Cambridge, apparently for good, are Andrew Riley at Homerton and Rob Wyke at St. Catherine's. David and Mary DuCroz made a guest appearance at Cambridge Regatta, and another former captain of First and Third Trinity, Nick Blackford (Manor, 1959-64), was seen at their Bumps Supper. Pete Summers (Temple, 1963-68), who returned to coach Corpus last year, is now coaching a successful Imperial College crew. On Regatta Day we were again able to welcome two crews from the School, although they seemed sadly unappreciative of our ale. This year we have several leavers—Phil Challis, Chris Atkinson, Paul Withers, Chris Smith and Tim Stephenson; we wish them the best of luck for the future—they will no doubt return periodically a la Mitchell —and look forward to welcoming those coming up in October.
