Former Students

If you are one of the people below and something is wrong with your entry (which is likely!), please drop me a line, especially if you have a personal website. In the meantime, please accept my profuse apologies…but I’m getting on in years, so why are you surprised…

Moreover, I would love to start decorating each entry with a portrait: to do this, I need you to send me the picture you want me to include.
