32        Garth Doubleday - Following Cambridge University and six years war service (North African campaign), I spent my life looking after the family farms.  My sons have now taken over.  My diamond wedding was a few years ago.  Feeling fit for my age.  (2012)

34         Ivor Pugh     Anthony Pugh emailed in March 2012: Ivor made his 90th birthday at the beginning of August 2008 and organised his parties (plural) himself but died peacefully at the end of September.

My two elder brothers were in Robinites 1923-29 and 25-30 and died in 2000 and 1982 respectively.  The latter had been a master at Clifton for over 40 years (apart from an interval for confidential war work).  The former, after some years teaching at St Pauls, devoted himself to freemasonery.

I have learned to speak French and have made lots of friends over there

39        NH Neale – (2008 update) I retired from the law 20 years ago. I live on my own but with family nearby.

Much involved these days with 3 guardian children, one of whom, Yeshe Verhagen is a Robinite just starting on her 2nd year at Teach First having graduated in Architecture and History of Art from Kings Cambridge.  The two boys deserted the colours and went to Harrow. But the eldest, Ogyen, made a small impact on Charterhouse getting a hat trick as a Yearling leg spinner on Maniacs.
After an eventful business life Ingrid and I work as a management support team much involved at the moment in launching a concert promotion start-up. I am in the last stages of completing a book, “Unlocking Reality”, which sets out to answer questions about why we’re here in this funny old world which I first began to ask myself 100 years ago in the cold, draughty and rather under-fed corridors of wartime Charterhouse. It sounds a bit “stodgy” put like that, but, although I say it myself, it’s a fascinating subject from which Ingrid and I have learnt a great deal.

         Believing in the philosophy of 'Retire Early, Work Late' my wife and I sold our grocery store in 1995 and went sailing around the Gulf Islands for a year. These Islands, for those who are geographically handicapped :), lie between Vancouver and Vancouver Island, and stretch south towards Seattle. The following year we purchased a Greyhound coach (not, please, a bus!) that had been converted into a motorhome, and toured the continental US and Baja Mexico.....for the next 4 years. Now I work.

Its population is approx 38,000, with Kelowna (pop 110,000) 1 hour's drive north.  Because of its micro-climate, orchards and vineyards vie for space. The wine industry has been on a roll since the '80's, so the orchards are slowly losing out. Hmmm " An apple or a glass of wine? Glass of wine or apple ?" Hmmm. If you are bored at work one day, "Google Earth" Penticton, and go for a drive! or a flight !

I think this is my last job!  I find it extremely heartening that for so many, let us say, ‘Independent Robinites’, the vast majority have been very successful in their walks of life.  Coupled with this we also have the best attended Annual Dinner in the school with other house clamouring to be included.  Nothing has changed!

I'm currently shepherding on a 1000ha farm mid-way up the east coast of the North Island. We breed sheep, beef cattle and deer for both venison and velvet. Most of the farm is reasonably steep hill country so thank God for the advent of sheep dogs! I've been farming in NZ for about 4 years now, and have 4 working dogs and a horse. (Not that he ever gets used for the purpose of mustering, but if ever the need arose...) I live on the farm with my girlfriend, who works in Hastings, an hour's drive away. (A city by NZ standards, but with a population of about 30 000, it would probably be considered a small town in Britain!)  Until I started here nearly a year ago, I spent 2 years working on a quarantine station for a live export company. There we monitored the health and growth of dairy heifers destined for Asia and South America. As a stockman there, I was also occasionally required to oversee their health on the sea voyage to where ever it was they were going. I ended up travelling to China twice and Guatemala once. The journeys were interesting if not fun!!  I hope this is sufficient information to keep the masses of Ferg fans happy!
