chickenfeetFrom Durham Alumni News:
Professor Willmore taught me Linear Algebra and Complex Analysis many moons ago. His demonstration of "what a tensor did" was one of the funniest things I ever saw in a lecture theatre. So Tom Willmore and Euan Squires are both dead now. That only leaves Prof. Richardson out of the full profs of my era. I'm starting to feel very old.
