On a sadder note, thank you for informing the foundation and Gonville and Caius College of Dr. McCutchen’s death. We never met but he was the subject of a two-page spread in the college magazine a dozen years ago. The article was based on an interview my colleague, Mick Le Mopignan, was lucky enough to secure on the shores of Lake Placid, lucky fellow. What a fine picture it painted of a Caian interested in physics, chemistry, aircraft-and motorcycles. He’ll be missed. We shall not see his like again soon.
