Greetings

Welcome to this collection of memorabilia from Downer Grammar School, Edgware, UK.

For past pupils this site is a 'nostalgic refuge' from the miserable economic outlook with which we are being confronted.

Andrew Forester 1944-2011

It is with deep regret that I have to inform everyone that Andrew Forester died on the 2nd of July 2011 in hospital at Haliburton, Canada.  Andy had been suffering from a serious illness for some time and his immune system was weakened; he caught an infection and died within three days.

Those of us who were in regular contact with Andy will miss his blustering, boisterous sense of humour and his direct way of giving his point of view.  Andy never was Politically Correct and we liked him that way!  He enjoyed good food, travelling, shooting and Aztec history.

Andy had no children and is survived by Liz - his wife of 45 years.

- Robin Bather, Mexico

If you remember Andy, why not contribute to our tribute page.
