Chris Doutre

Chris Doutre and his wife who are presently in Lucknow will be leaving
tomorrow for Dehra Dun where his dad is buried. Mr Meridith Doutre,
also an old Martinian, went as Principal to Cambrian Hall, Dehra Dun
after he retired from La Martiniere in 1964 (?). Chris had visited the
Mart last in 1995. One can imagine what an emotional visit this has
been for Chris, as he spent one night at the Principal's residence
where he had lived during his school years.

Farewell Patricia Venner!

Naomi Kolet

Our beloved sister Patricia Venner passed away peacefully in Mexico City last night just before 11 pm. My brother, Chuck and his wife Asha were at her bedside in the hospital. She will be missed by the entire family, and remembered for her sense of humour and warmth. May she rest in peace.

I am writing on her wall as I didn't know how else to inform her wonderful friends all over the world, whom she loved and spoke about regularly.

Lila Kutty
My darling friend Pat gone forever,will miss her badly.We used to chat
frequently on facebook and reminisce bout all the mischief we used to
get upto in the boarding school.Any way she was a flower who is
growing just on the other side of the wall now.Will miss her very
much.The last time she was n touch wid me was when she wished me for
my B'day and said "I love and miss you Lila."She will be remembered
always.My heartfelt condolences to Paul and her sis Naomi.

Naomi Kolet
To each and every friend who has sent in their prayers and thoughts on
my sister's demise; my brother Chuck and I thank you for your words of
comfort and your prayers. I'm sure Cookie (Pat) must be looking down
and thinking we are wasting time writing on her wall! She had a wicked
sense of humour and never wanted any special attention given to her
problems. So, again we are comforted daily by reading your letters.
Thank you from our family.

1. Top is the Lucknow vs Cal Martiniere rugby teams 1963.
2. Lucknow vs Calcutta soccer teams 1968 .
3. Lucknow vs Calcutta swimming teams 1968.
4. Martiniere Lko vs Kanpur rugby teams year 1965 or 66?
Rugby was discontinued in Lucknow once Kanpur was unable to produce a team. Rugby is a game played in West Bengal but in UP or, let's say up north, the game wasn't played. This left the Lucknow Martiniere no team to play against.
