Colonel Richard Judd, Staff’65

Colonel Richard D. Judd

Those associated with the early years of Falcon were sad to learn of the death of Colonel Richard Judd, D.S.O., M.C., T.D., Gold cross of the Order of George I (Greece), in September, 1965, after a long period of ill-health. Colonel Judd was the original Secretary to the Falcon College Trust, and was a good friend of the College – in the best sense of that phrase. As a partner of Messrs. Cooper Bros., he was subsequently transferred to Salisbury, where unhappily his health broke down, which led to his return to England. We would extend our deepest sympathy to his widow and daughter.

Had two weeks hols after Falcon, then joined the BSAP for a 2-year contract; did Police Display, horse escorts & a posting to Inyanga (hardship huh!), then bought myself out in June '81. Moved to UK a month later, did a course in advertising and marketing, then got a job with a small ad agency in Wimbledon before moving to my current job with Grass Roots Group, where I design processes for motivation websites. Home life = wife Nicola + 4 daughters & 2 sons; also help out at my local lifeboat station, and am keen on photography (www.flickr.com/photos/bushtick), singing with a chamber choir and a bit on the side for the Falcon Old Boys.
