Career I spent my working life in pathology as trainee/lecturer/senior lecturer/hon. Consultant in various academic departments: 10 years in Glasgow Royal Infirmary, 13 years in Leeds and, since 1996, Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. I took the MRCPath and developed a diagnostic speciality in skin pathology, which I practiced for many years. Although I retained a forensic bent, it never became a fulltime career. I undertook research in gastric enzymes, which led to an MD. I always took a keen interest in undergraduate medical education and ran numerous courses. I welcomed the computing revolution and worked on various applications to medical education, including assessment and computer-assisted learning (PathCAL). I still participate in this in Edinburgh, where I introduced problem-based learning and run part of the degree programme. I currently intend to develop the computing work, perhaps as a post-retirement alternative to gardening. Personal Details After graduating I expanded my mountaineering experience and did lots of hill-walking, rock-climbing, snow and ice climbing and ski touring. Some of this has been with other Zeta Club members. I continued an interest in languages, which blended with travelling and working abroad, and kept up a childhood interest in astronomy. After interspersing and sometimes even sharing these activities with perhaps too many luckless women, I finally married Sally in 1999. Whether or not this counts as growing up is debatable. We travelled, skied and hill-walked widely and had a lot of fun together and she came to the Zeta Club 35 year reunion to view the older generation. In 2008, however, she presented with widely disseminated cancer and died within a month at the age of 39 years. I have since been trying to get my life back on course, although its direction is currently under review.
