Rodney Sharp writes, “I took the attached photo of David and Joan Rees on David’s 94th birthday (last Tuesday, May 29) at the care home where he now lives. It might remind some users of the conference we had about 14 years ago in Exeter to celebrate David’s 80th year, and the one we had 24 years ago to mark his 70th birthday.”
Many thanks, Rodney. It’s good to see them both. For those who may not know much about David Rees FRS, here is some background: wikipedia, mathscinet, math. genealogy.
So beautifully poignant is this touching photo-in-history to the wonderful legacy of another of Bletchley Park’s uncelebrated WW11 intellectual hero’s,……………Fellow of the Royal Society, David Rees, still with us as Professor Rees’ sister ,Joan informs me last night, 4th Feb in the year 2013
Achievements should be remembered………. believes this young Welshman;
a man’s legacy…………………..celebrated and…………………..unforgotten
