Gordon Farquharson (1993K) all the way from California

Sons, James and Euan find out what school life at Bishops was like.

Gordon Farquharson (1993K) and his family visited us during the holidays.  He was in Kidd House matriculating in 1993.  He specifically wanted to show his sons James and Euan his old school.  They were accompanied by his wife Kathleen.  Gordon and his family live in California where the boys are at school and Gordon works in academia.  Gordon said that he really enjoyed his walk through the school showing his boys where their Dad went to school.

We reminisced about break-time in the Kidd House Quad where one day it would be classical music played through the loudspeakers and another something more modern.  This was the legacy of the housemaster Mr Michael Fisher. He was a great lover of music.

By all accounts the Farquharsons had a great visit and it was good to see Gordon again.
