I have to mention those Friday afternoons during CG's NQT time in 2011-12. You took the other Y4 class. We did art. We had such a hoot. I remember us romping through those lessons, you modelling the "splitting technique" for trees (which I still use to this day) and we had such a jolly good laugh. Rich - you were my first deputy when I was a fledgling teacher in 2008. You helped employ me. You had the balls to sort problems out, the loyalty and the community spirit. They loved you and we loved you. I can't believe you've gone. I'm a deputy myself now, and i'd be naïve to think you weren't part of what has made me the leader I am now. I'll keep one eye on the Wolves for you, pal. Cheers, Rich.
