Thoughts
Mr Preest was many students' favourite teacher, but the lesson he taught by personal example was to think before you speak, and then to think some more. If he had a choice, he chose to be kind. A teacher who was both respected and respectable.

DGP You were a splendid Head of Department at Highgate School; a man of honour, scholarship and utter propriety. And I am proud to have been at least partially instrumental in bringing you and Verity together for upwards of twenty years of happiness.
I loved you, as I love Verity. Good friends both. You shall never be forgotten.
God be with you.

A privilege as well as a pleasure to have known you, DGP, and to have been able whether inn hexameters or elegiacs to have honoured your 60th and 80th birthdays. Devotedly yours ever.
