JAN 2009
About three years ago, James Bowthorpe (Evans ’95) decided thathe was going to try to get into medical school on a graduate entryprogramme. As part of this he has been volunteering at aParkinson’s Disease research clinic at the Institute of Psychiatry inLondon for the last two years; a choice he is very glad to havemade. The doctors that he works for (Drs John and Sylvia Dobbs)have undertaken groundbreaking research in this field. Their workshows that Parkinson’s Disease, currently considered incurable andwithout known cause, could be caused by an infection. During the
last two years James has seen thepositive effects of trials carried out atthe clinic. At this point the Dobbs’ havea disease modifier that, although not acure, is a treatment that eitherconsiderably slows or reversessymptoms of the disease. The next stageof the research is multi-disciplinary andwill take place over 5 years, costing £2million.
Although the work is well respected byscientists and people in the field (theWHO European Parkinson’s Associationchairperson, for example) the
research is proving difficult to fund through traditional channels.Resistance to new ideas is partly to blame, as there is, says James, aslightly proprietorial attitude to the disease - the idea that it is a systemicdisease and not just a ‘brain’ disease is not easily assimilated in somequarters.
James has seen how effective the Dobbs’ work is to date andbecome increasingly frustrated with the lack of funding the workreceives. Six months ago he decided that he would embark on afund- and profile-raising campaign as part of the volunteer work hedoes for the research. So in April 2009 he will be attempting tobreak the recently set world record for cycling around the world
(you may have seen Mark Beaumont do this on the BBC). This willbe combined with product sponsorship and a concerted mediacampaign to reach his goal of raising £1.8 million. James said: I amaiming to break the record by a considerable margin, cycling 120 miles aday over 150 days, a total of 18,000 miles raising £100 per mile.

Sophie Wedderkopp (Besley 2005) [email protected]
Sophie spent two and a halfmonths in Washington DC and
Virginia (just across the Potomacfrom DC) interning on twoseparate campaigns. The first wasthe ‘Hillary for President’campaign, when she spent a fewweeks writing and sending outThank You letters to all across thecountry who supported hercampaign for the Presidency. Shewas also involved in thecompliance department -accepting contributions to helppay off Hillary’s debt andreallocating donations from herpresidential campaign to her 2012Senate re-election campaign.Finally, she did a number ofSenate runs, which involvedtaking documents to be signed bythe Senator to her Senate Officeon Capitol Hill, which was veryexciting. Her second internshipwas longer and was for the ‘VAVictory 08’ campaign. It was runby the Democratic Party ofVirginia and involvedcampaigning for Barack Obama,Mark Warner (Former Governorof Virginia running for a VirginiaSenate seat) and theCongressional candidates inNorthern Virginia. As an internshe helped the staff organisevolunteers and volunteer events,attend and run canvasses(knocking on doors for votes) andphone-bank. The hours were longbut it didn’t matter all that muchas there was such a strong senseof commitment and urgency to getObama and Warner elected. Shemet Mark Warner on a number ofoccasions in the office and alsoattended a fundraiser for him,which is where the photo wastaken. Unfortunately she wasn’table to meet Barack Obama: hisschedule was announced only aday or two before he wentanywhere, and when he did cometo Virginia it was the South (theRepublican stronghold), which shewas unable to get to given verypoor public transport! She wasalso accepted as a volunteer atthe Democratic National
Convention in Denver but wasunable to go as flights andaccommodation were much tooexpensive! However, Mark Warnergave the keynote speech (thesame speech Obama gave in2004), a very prestigious spot, soalongside Hillary’s and Obama’sspeeches Virginia was buzzingduring the Convention week.Sophie said: It was incrediblyexciting to be working on an electioncampaign for such a range ofcandidates in one of the mostimportant swing states in the U.S -Virginia has not voted Democratic ina Presidential election since 1964.

OT SECRETARY (NOMINATE)
MILAN TO NAPLESAli Paul, Sam Hatfield and Theo England (Marshall 2008)
We travelled to Italy in September to cycle 1000km between Milan and Naples. Our trip was partlyfunded by the Taunton School Brigstowe Travel Scholarship – for which we thank ChristopherLevan (School House ‘66). We had an amazing time in Italy and have managed to raise £650 forcharity (CRY - Care and Relief for the Young) so far.
We were blessed with flat roads and smooth tarmac for the early section of the trip from Milan toBologna and whilst it took a while to acclimatise, we cycled well and made the most of the flatterrain. We then headed into the Apennine mountains and were taken aback by the spectacularviews, winding roads and the cool mountain air.
It took the best part of a day to climb to the highest mountain pass, but descending took under twohours as we sped down into the Tuscan hills. The contrast between the green, jagged mountainlandscape and the desert-like terrain of Tuscany was unbelievable. Temperatures were noticeablyhigher and this made cycling really tough. The ‘rolling’ hills of Tuscany seemed to roll on forever aswe forged on towards Rome.
However, our efforts had paid off and we were now a day ahead of schedule. We took a day off atLago di Bolsena – a beautiful lake north of Rome, which gave us some well-earned rest. From herewe cycled our longest day at 140km, ending up in Rome. A huge thunderstorm overnight ensured wewere still very wet when we arrived at theColosseum the next morning. Havingnegotiated the cobbles and the traffic we leftRome for the coast, first climbing into somefairly spectacular mountains beforedescending onto the coastal plains.
The coastal road to Naples was verydramatic, although we had to be carefulnot to cycle too close to the edge! Weeventually reached Naples with plenty oftime and the final night was spent sleepingin Naples Airport before catching a planeto Bristol (via Milan) the next morning.

Annette Richards (née Dearden) WeirfieldSchool 1959 and Judith Dawson (née Dowell)Weirfield School 1964 met up in MelbourneAustralia recently with Annette’s daughter JoPrendergast (née Richards) Foxcombe 1991.
Judith said: It was great to renew our child-hood friendships particularly since both ourfathers (John Dearden & Freddie Dowell)were colleagues at Taunton School.
THE WESTERNCLUB GOES‘GREEN’The OT Western Club has donated £1,000towards the Taunton School ‘Greenpower’electric racing car for schools project whichpromotes engineering and technology ascareers to those aged 9-21. Taunton Schoolhas chosen to enter the ‘Formula 24’category for secondary schools. A carefullythought-up specification is issued along witha 24 volt electric motor and a set of 4 12 voltlead/acid batteries.

OT GOLFING SOCIETY www.oldtaunoniangs.orgBarry White retired as President of the Society after 26 years of unparalleled dedicatedservice. To mark the occasion at the AGM the new President, Wes Wyatt, presentedBarry with an engraved silver picture frame with grateful thanks from generations ofOT Golfers. This year the OTGS performed well in the Halford Hewitt reaching the semifinal of the Plate. Perhaps this will mark a turning point in a twenty year downwardtrend, a trend recognised by President, Wes Wyatt who in the summer launched anappeal for funds to help promote School golf. The aim was to raise £6000 in the firstyear and £2000pa thereafter to assist with facilities and tuition at the School. Thanks tothe great generosity of OT golfers these targets have been exceeded so we hope to seethe benefits in due course work through to the OT golf.Scratch Competitions28/29.03.09 Brent Knoll Bowl Burnham & Berrow2-5.04.09 Halford Hewitt Deal10.05.09 Grafton Morrish Qualifier Royal Ashdown Forest25/27.06.09 Cyril Gray Worplesdon24-27.09.09 Grafton Morrish Event HunstantonSociety Meetings10.03.09 Invitation meeting Swinley Forest26.04.09 Thone Cup Taunton & Pickeridge17.05.09 Fairwater Cup St. George’s Hill13.06.09 Reunion Weekend Burnham & Berrow14.06.09 Match vs School Taunton & Pickeridge03.07.09 Old Honitonians Royal North Devon06.09.09 London OTs vs West OTs Royal Winchester11.10.09 Rose Bowl Oake Manor

Eric Dowling flew 29 missions for BomberCommand in World War Two, until his planewas shot down over Germany in 1942. Hewas imprisoned in Poland in Stalag Luft III,famous for what later came to be called, inthe 1963 film, The Great Escape. Eric was dueto be one of the escapees, but never made itbecause the guards discovered what washappening before Eric’s turn came. (All butthree of the seventy-seven escapees wererecaptured, and fifty of those, all officers,were executed.) Eric played a key role inexcavating the escape tunnels - hence hisacquisition of the nickname ‘Digger’ - and inpreparing maps and forged documents. (Hecould be scathing, incidentally, of the film forits historical inaccuracies: there were noAmericans in Stalag Luft III at the time, andthe famous Steve McQueen motorbikeepisode is pure fiction!)
After the war Eric worked for the RAF as anair crash investigator, and later for BritishAerospace in Bristol, where he worked onConcorde. He retired in 1965. He hadexcelled at cricket and swimming while atschool, and continued to enjoy playing cricketand tennis in retirement.
He was born at Glastonbury and worked for hisfather, a Taunton businessman selling animalfoods, until he joined the RAF on the outbreakof war. Eric’s wife Marie died in 1997. He issurvived by a son and a daughter.
Peter John Mountstephen (Wills East 1933-36)29.11.19 - 13.08.08 aged 88
Peter enlisted into the Rifle Brigade TerritorialArmy (known as The Artist Rifles). He wasdischarged at the end of 1939 and was thengranted Emergency Commission as a 2ndLieutenant in the Duke of Cornwall’s LightInfantry transferring to the Indian Army inDecember 1941. Whilst in India, he servedunder Field Marshal The Viscount Slim - laterChief of the General Staff and future
Governor General of Australia. He served inthe Arakan, thence in the forward areas ofIndia/Burma at Dimapur on the ManipurRoad, on to Kohima, Imphal in Assam, andthe Irrawaddy River in Burma. He was theIntelligence officer for the Kohima Garrisonduring the siege by the Japanese. The famous‘Battle of The Tennis Court’ at Kohima saw theAllied and Japanese soldiers exchanginggrenade and small arms fire from positionsseparated only by the width of the DistrictCommissioner’s tennis court.
After the war he and his wife and daughter migrated to New Zealand in 1946 and then toAustralia in 1950 settling in Melbourne. Heworked as a very successful insurance brokerwith his own business and enjoyed tennis,sailing cricket and rugby. He is survived byhis four children, seven grandchildren andone great granddaughter.

Nigel never lost touch with his Taunton Schoolroots. While at school he was a prefect, asergeant in the CCF, and a member of the 3rdXV. He won the Sixth Form Arts Prize. Hemoved from Taunton to Trinity College,Cambridge, where he read History and Law.
Nigel’s distinguished legal career culminatedin his appointment as senior partner ofClifford Chance in 1990. Upon his retirementin 1993 he was appointed for eight years tothe Building Societies Commission, overseeingthe demutualisation of most of Britain’sbiggest building societies.
He was President of the OTA in 1976. He andAnne were extremely active in attending OTAfunctions, especially the annual reunion. HisPresidential Dinner was held at the LawSociety, with Lord Denning, Master of theRolls, as Guest of Honour. He was Chairmanof the Sports Club for many years, taking aparticular interest in cricket and hockey.
Nigel joined the School Council (as it thenwas) in 1987, and was appointed President ofthe Council in 1994. He took office at adifficult time: pupil numbers were falling, withinevitable consequences for the school’sfinancial performance and its capitalinvestment. Nigel also had to contend withseveral changes of Head in the Prep School, a
restructure of the Bursarial department, andproblems of morale among the teaching staff.
Meanwhile he helped to lay the foundationsfor the School’s resurgence. During hisPresidency, the International Study Centre wasinitiated, and a significant buildingprogramme enabled the two junior schools tocombine as a co-educational preparatoryschool on a single site. Additionally, he ledand coordinated the recruitment of JulianWhiteley as Headmaster in 1996.
He retired as President in February 1997 andwas later honoured with appointment as a LifeVice-President of the School in recognition of allhis work for the School over many years.
Nigel died of an aneurism. He is survived byAnne, and their son and daughter.
Richard Harry Hinton Dauncey(Wills East 1940-49)21.02.31 - 07.11.08 aged 77
St Paul said: If I speak in tongues of men andangels, but have not love, I am only aresounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
As many of you know, I am no angel, buttoday I speak with love and affection for mydear friend Dickie and I consider it a privilegethat I am allowed to speak today incelebration of his life.
We go back a long way, to 14 September 1949,when we were cadets together at the RAFCollege. Actually because there were two Dickiesin our entry, our Dickie volunteered to be calledHarry and there are those here today who willremember him as such. But giving up his firstname was symptomatic of the man - he wasalways unselfish and caring. He also showed hisgreat sporting abilities, for he was a good all-rounder. His strongest areas were hockey, whichhe played for High Wycombe Vets until he was65, and Squash which he finally gave up at 70!However, I also remember him as a very fineathlete; his stylish, speedy performance over440 yards hurdles was outstanding.
Dickie was a first class cadet and had thehonour of being a ‘stick man’, leading theQueen on an inspection and being cadetsergeant for our final term. Dickie was alwaysproud of his dual nationality and he wouldextol certain continental advantages, like the
metric system - don’t forget this was 1950!
During our time as cadets, some of us had theopportunity to go on an informal visit to RAFGermany. Dickie couldn’t make it as he hadan important date in Lermoos, Austria, with acertain girl who was clearly the love of hislife, Judy. We met again in Cyprus in 1965when we were both stationed there.
After Cyprus and his PA job he continued witha successful career in the RAF. He wasfortunate to have two command positions,first as Commanding Officer of SHAPE RAFsupport unit and latterly as CommandingOfficer of RAF High Wycombe. After leavingthe RAF, he continued his strong associationwith the Service by working for the RAFBenevolent Fund, where his caring nature andorganisational skills were invaluable.
Whilst he was leading this busy life supported sostrongly by Judy, along came his family,Stephen and Joanna. Dickie loved his familydearly and was very proud of them and he wasabsolutely delighted when he had 2 grandsons,Thomas and Benjamin whom he adored.
Dickie was a man of so many interests. He lovedhis old school and both Stephen and Joannaended up at Taunton School. (All the Daunceyswent to Taunton, starting with his father Arthur.)He was particularly proud when he was madePresident of the Old Tauntonian Association in1984. Among his sporting and other interests,he was a very successful Chairman of HighWycombe’s Twinning Association with Kelkheim,Germany. In 2001 the Mayor and TownTwinning Committee of Kelkheim honouredDickie with the ‘Ehrenspangen of Kelkheim’ forhis enthusiastic encouragement of the manypossibilities of Town Twinning between Kelkheimand High Wycombe and his ‘vision of theEuropean Community’. This honour is rarelyawarded and never before to a foreigner.
In Dickie we had a man of great energy, a manwho cared for his community, his country andhis Service but above all for his family. The Eulogy spoken at Dickie’s funeral by Colin Pierce
David Hugh Jones (Somerset 1943-51)19.02.34 - 19.09.08 aged 74
David Jones, one of Britain and America’smost successful (and most admired) film and
OBITUARIES Old Tauntonian Review
play directors, died in September inRockport, USA. His death was followed byobituaries in quality newspapers in bothcountries which listed his manyachievements.
There was a remarkable celebration of hiswork and life at the Mayfair Hotel Theatre inLondon on November 16th – organised byHarold Pinter, Melvyn Bragg and TrevorNunn, and attended by more than a hundredactors, actresses, directors and producers.
Langrishe Go Down, the award winning TV filmdirected by David, was shown. The screenplaywas written by Harold Pinter and starred JudiDench, Jeremy Irons and Pinter himself.Despite being in very poor health Harold Pintergave a tribute to David and introduced the film.
Melvin Bragg and Trevor Nunn had bothbeen mentored by David and paid generousand moving tributes.
Trevor Nunn attributed the pre-eminence ofthe Royal Shakespeare Company at theAldwych to David and said how dismayed hewas when David left. Subsequently hepersuaded David to view critically his majorproductions in the late rehearsal stages.
The assembled theatre personnel included LadyAntonia Fraser, Patrick Stewart, Ben Kingsley,Ian McNeice and David Suchet as well as thosealready mentioned. Ben Kingsley said thatDavid was unique in that he always treatedeveryone as an equal, including all supportingactors and production staff. David Suchet saidthat what he (and other actors) loved aboutDavid was that he gave them confidence todare to risk failure. And he spoke warmly of hisdays at Wellington School and his visits toTaunton School.
Ian McNeice (Wills West ’69), who will beremembered for his outstanding actingperformances at school, has acted in playsand films directed by David Jones, including84 Charing Cross Road. This film stared AnneBancroft and Anthony Hopkins. It was theRoyal Command Performance film and justbefore the royal party arrived TV carried aninterview with Anne Bancroft on the redcarpet. She said the film was made ‘on ashoestring’ and that she and AnthonyHopkins would not have appeared for anydirector other than David Jones.
In 1995 OTs were hosted by Jay (now Sir Jay)Tidmarsh at the Merchant Venturers, Bristol.David Jones was to be the main speaker butat the last moment had emergency surgeryto remove a cancerous lung which hadextended to involve his heart. Neverthelesshe was soon working again.
His last visit to the school was in 2004 asGuest of Honour at Commemoration. Hestarted his speech by referring to themarquee being on the same site as that onwhich he had been in charge of his house inthe inter-house PT competition – what he did
not say is that he filled this rôle at the lastminute and his house won!
I remember him at school as good-humouredwith an impressively deep voice andmatching laugh, very intelligent and alwayswilling to help someone less able. It was nosurprise when he gained a First ClassHonours Degree at Cambridge and was sosuccessful afterwards.

Stuart Robert Mann (School House 1969-79)10.02.61 - 19.09.08 aged 47
Stuart’s smile was his trademark and saidmore about him than a thousand words. Hewas someone everyone was drawn to and healways had something to give. I got to knowhim during our time in Taunton, firstly atThone and then Taunton School. In our lastyear we shared a study, along with theSchool House mascot, Bogaz.
Stuart’s first love at school was Rugby and hewas a regular pick for the 1st XV. His realtalents were needed when pulling togetherthe School House XV, who always punchedabove their weight. Stuart was a real teamplayer and it wasn’t just in Rugby that histalents came to the fore. He seemed to havean extraordinary willingness to have a realgo at everything at school - whether it wasTen Tors, the house singing competition,cricket, hockey, or the awful inter-house crosscountry competition - it was all done withamazing enthusiasm and cheerfulness. Whendoing these things, and many others, heshowed his ability to see the funny side ofeverything. I never had the honour (that Iremember anyway!) of being subjected toone of his practical jokes. However, hisjuggling was something to be seen!
Another of Stuart’s strengths was his loyaltyas a friend: once he was your friend heremained so. He always had an eye for whatwas next after school and started playing forMinehead Barbarians in the Easter terms. Itwas no surprise, therefore, when he decidednot to go to university, and embarked on avery successful career with Nat West.
He always remained close to his WestCountry roots, even though his job took him
all around the country and latterly out toGermany (taking German O level wasworthwhile after all!). He was clearly wellthought of within the Bank. He reached asenior management position in the EuropeanConsumer Finance Division of RBS and I’msure would have gone further.
He was a devoted family man. He and Lynnhave brought up two lovely daughters, whowill miss his good counsel, guidance and
sense of fun. His pride in their achievementswas clear to see. Stuart displayed a drive anddetermination in whatever he did and I’msure that if he had been given the chance hewould have made the best of the situation hefound himself in having suffered a stroke.He will be sorely missed by all his family,friends and colleagues.

OBITUARIES Old Tauntonian Review
Andrew Prentice - his struggle with pancreatitis(Marshall: ‘81-’87)Those who remember Andrew will be moved and appalled to read thebook published this year, written by his mother Brenda. Brenda writes todocument both Andrew’s decline into chronic pancreatitis and depression,and the prolonged struggle with some of the authorities endured by bothAndrew and his parents to secure for him all the support and care theyfelt he needed.Pancreatitis is an extremely debilitating and painful deterioration of thepancreas. It would appear in retrospect that Andrew’s earliest symptomsappeared when he was 15 and still at school. After twenty years he hastotally lost his pancreas function and endures constant pain. As thedisease took hold, he lost his wife, his job, his home and, Brenda says, hisself-respect. He became bankrupt. He was led into a nightmare ofdepression, self-harm, and suicide attempts. Throughout he had thesupport of his parents, who took him back to the family home. Butbecause pancreatitis is often attributable to alcohol and drug abuse, whichBrenda says did not apply in Andrew’s case, and because Andrew’scircumstances were judged not to meet all of the regulatory requirements,there ensued a harrowing struggle with professionals in social services,health and housing. Brenda has campaigned ceaselessly on Andrew’s behalf to seek for himwhat he and his parents regarded as fair and just treatment. The struggleto have him recognised as ‘medically vulnerable’, and therefore eligiblefor various kinds of support, went as far as the respective Healthcare,Local Government and Parliamentary Ombudsmen. Brenda’s efforts werelargely unsuccessful. Andrew stayed with his parents until the charity Rethink housed him inthe bungalow where he currently lives. Andrew’s Story was published in 2008 by Chipmunkapublishing.com(ISBN 978-1-84747-597-8). Brenda says: “I’m hoping the book will help toeducate doctors, social workers and housing officers, so they will come tounderstand that people like Andrew really do need an awful lot of help,not condemnation”.Since the book was published, and very recently, epilepsy has been addedto the list of Andrew’s afflictions. Brenda is heartened, however, that hismedical support has now become much more understanding. Andrew’sbrother Stephen runs the bulletin board for the small charity PancreatitisSupporters Network www.pancreatitis.org.uk
