1950
Michael Barraclough Pulman
(G, 1946-
1950) writes: “I was the privileged guest of
Gordon Hutton (G, 1946-1952), (right in the
picture), at his beautiful house in Cumbria in
early May. Much of our talk centred on the
unforgettable culture trip to Paris we went on
with the late Mervyn Evans and his late wife
Yvonne during the Easter holidays in 1950.
This was an expedition that began a love affair
with France that has lasted, for both of us it
seems, to the day this picture was taken, when
I was on my way to Paris. The interpolated
black-and-whites are from a Segar’s House
group picture taken in either 1949 or 1950.”
1965
Reverend Simon Croft
(C, 1965-1968)
has retired from being Vicar of Dawlish,
after almost 40 years of parish life in Exeter
Diocese. Having no more evening meetings
is wonderful! He and his wife Shirley, also
recently retired from teaching, have moved
back to Exeter, where two of their sons live.
1979
Alastair Hayward
(D, 1974-1979) writes:
“We have been living in Chicago for the last
three years as I was offered a role here by
the company that I work for (Allianz Global
Corporate & Specialty). We are enjoying
living here especially being close to Lincoln
Park and Lake Michigan. When I was back in
England in the autumn of 2014, I met up with
OSE News
Hugh Richards, Nigel Taylor, Steve Fordyce
and Simon Jenkins (all D, 1974-1979) to
celebrate forty years since we joined St
Edward’s - and we hadn’t changed a bit!”
Christopher Hartley
(D, 1975-1979) was
awarded an LLB (Hon) from the University
of Bristol (Doctorate of Laws) in
recognition of international achievements
and service to the sport of rowing.
1983
Martin Lynch
(H, 1979-1983) has
returned from his cycle ride from Adelaide
to Darwin in one piece, raising over
$350,000 for the mental health charity
the Black Dog Institute. He is pictured
here wearing his Tinkoff-Saxo Teddies
2-Wheeler cycling jersey.
1987
Stephen Cobb
(E, 1982-1987) writes:
“In May of 2015 I took a big step and left
BAE Systems whom I had been working
for since leaving university. Over the
course of a 23-year career I worked on
Harrier jump jets, all of BAE’s unmanned
aircraft programmes (including a spell
as the Project Manager for the Taranis
stealth demonstrator), a couple of major
organisational restructuring projects and
the Trident Successor nuclear submarine.
I’m currently working for Jaguar Land
Rover - another great British company! -
where I am Project Manager for a future
model on the medium SUV platform
(Range Rover Evoque and Discovery
Sport). I’ve left Lancashire and moved to a
small village just outside Banbury.”
1946
Nigel Sturt
(B, 1941-1946) and his wife Pam
celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary
this year.
Fergus Livingstone
(C, 1981-1986)
Fergus and Guðrun Livingstone and family
have moved to Reykjavik after 25 years of
schoolmastering and headmastering, to set
up and run a holiday letting company. They
have several properties, one by a glacial
lake just north of the city and the others
in central Reykjavik itself. The flagship
property is The Old Bicycle Shop, their
family-owned guesthouse in the heart of
the old city. They would love to welcome
any OSE (or their children, their parents
or friends) to Reykjavik, which is every
bit as fantastic as its reputation suggests,
and can offer not only accommodation to
suit all needs, but also advice and insider
knowledge. They can be contacted at

Lena Poulton
1992
Lena Poulton (née Havranek)
(D, 1990-
1992) writes: “Two years ago I started
competing in triathlons having swum and
rowed for Teddies and then at Medical
School. This year I came second in the
National and British Triathlon Age Group
Championships. This meant that I qualified to
represent Great Britain for the European
Age Group Triathlon Championships in
Geneva in July this year where I won Bronze,
and went on to race for GB at the World
Triathlon Championships in Chicago in
September. There I won Silver which I am
really pleased with. The whole experience
so far has been amazing. I have been happily
married since 1997 and have three sons.
I work as a part-time GP in High Wycombe.”
