Also remarkable was the way that he kept contact with his alma mater. This picture was taken during a visit to the PRG archives in 2009. The late Prof Christopher Heywood is in the front on the right. His older brother Brookes (PRG, 1942), Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at UCT, and his wife, Jeanne (Rhenish alumnus), are standing behind him and on the left hand side in front is a friend, Francois Roux (PRG, 1945), an artist.
