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. | |
