In 1964 Gordon’s job moved to Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire, and Rosemary continued to teach maths in a nearby secondary school. When in 1968 the family followed Gordon’s job to Kirkcaldy, Fife in Scotland, Rosemary approached the local technical college with a view to refreshing her engineering skills. As it happened they didn’t have a teacher for that course but they saw from her CV that she had an Oxford engineering degree so asked her if she’d like to teach the course which she happily agreed to do. 1971 saw the family relocate again to Barrow upon Soar in Leicestershire where she taught maths to HND and HNC engineering students at Loughborough Technical College. Later in 1971 Gordon and Rosemary set up their own company where they designed printed circuits for one of the first desktop computers. In 1979 she joined the Computer Services department at Loughborough University where she remained until 1994 when she retired. From early in her career she was a member of the Women’s Engineering Society and in 1980 she became its president. Rosemary and Gordon had always wanted to live near the sea so when they retired they moved to Cowes on the Isle of Wight. She continued to be very active, kept swimming even in the sea, and took up line dancing. She will be much missed by her family and friends. Susan West (1976)
Pamela Liebeck (Lawrence, 1949) Pamela Lawrence attended Somerville College from 1949 to 1952 where she read Mathematics. She then trained to be a maths teacher at Cambridge and started her teaching career. In 1953 she married Hans Liebeck, a fellow maths student at Oxford. In 1955 they moved to South Africa where Hans took up a lectureship at Cape Town University. They stayed there for six years, during which time Pam did some teaching at the university, studied for a music degree, and brought up her two small children. In 1961 Hans was offered a new post at Keele University and they moved back to England. They had their third child in 1963. As the children were growing up, Pam resumed her interest in teaching maths and took up a post in teacher training in mathematics at Madeley College of Education and later at Keele University. Dave Miller (Department of Education, Keele) wrote that she was ‘a truly wonderful colleague who had impact on
