We are grateful to their grandmother Virginia Mercer née Grimwade (Cl’47) for sending news of them. Keith Dann (Staff 1958), who died in September, was Headmaster of Slade School at Warwick in Queensland from 1959-66, and then Senior Housemaster at Churchie in Brisbane – the Anglican (formerly Church of England) Grammar School which in its so far 98 years has had three Headmasters who were formerly or later on the Staff at GGS: The Reverend Canon William Morris (Staff 190708) from 1912-46, The Honourable Charles Fisher (Head Master 1974-78) from 1970-73, and Bill Hayward OAM (Master of Corio 196672) from 1974-86. Robert Armstrong (Staff 1969-79), who died in September, went on from our Staff at Highton, where he was Deputy Master from 1972, to be Headmaster of Guildford Grammar Preparatory School in Perth. His wife, Barbara née Winterbottom (The Hermitage to 1948; The Hermitage Staff 1967-75; GGS Staff 1976-79), died in 2005. They were the parents of Jennifer Duff (The Hermitage to 1972), Michael (P’73; GGS Staff 1983-86), Peggy (A’75), and Tim (P’80). Clare Clements née Dowd (Assistant, Timbertop, 1992-93), after reading History of Art at Warwick University in England (achieving a 2:1 BA Honours degree), pursued an editorial career in magazine-publishing and then one in food-marketing, primarily with Associated British Foods. She now supports her husband as “a full-time mum”: living in Harrogate, they have George (born in 2005) and Edward (in 2008).
