e do not know each other, my name is Nick Holland from series 37. I was at Collingwood in the 1963/64 period living in Marlborough Division as a PO App. and Derek Titheridge was in fact 'my sprog'. The reason I am contacting you is that a classmate of yours, Peter Dodd S47 passed away on the 18th October at home in Chester. I knew Peter on the submarine Valiant in the 1969-72 period and of course on a submarine everyone knows each other. I have had Peter's passing away posted via the website managers for both the FA and SA. I feel very strongly about getting the necessary information posted on the relevant websites as it is the least we can do to remember them and I thought that I would contact you as an identifiable representative of S47. I received the information from a very good friend of Peter's who lives in Thurso who also informed everyone who was associated with him from Valiant days. I would ask that you update your website in tribute to Peter who was a great guy and his passing is very sad for all who knew him.

I have just received news from his wife that W.H. (Bill) Scott passed away on 25 April in Burlington MA where he was receiving treatment for an illness which he had been fighting since December last year.
Bill was a great character and will be sadly missed by all of us fortunate to know him.
