In 1964-65 Roger Harcourt was my O-level English teacher at Glyn grammar school in Epsom, Surrey. His youthfulness came as a breath of fresh air, as he took up his first school teaching post after leaving Reading University.
It was a joy to read how his life and career had subsequently proceeded, notably through promoting literature and drama at Ward Freman school, now Freman college, in Buntingford, Hertfordshire. Indeed, he was the only teacher about whom I ever wondered what became of him.
