100 OBITUARIES possible. In his flying pigs, David competed in both national and international gliding competitions. He also served as Vice Chairman to the British Gliding Association from 1965 to 1970. In 1967 he and Barbara moved to Hartley Wintney in Hampshire, as they had ties to the area through his chairmanship of the Lasham Gliding Society in the early 1960s. David was instrumental in establishing Lasham as an important gliding club by negotiating the lease of the airfield with the government. Today it is one of the largest gliding clubs in the world. David also involved himself in local politics, serving on the Hart District Council as an Independent from 1982 to 1990. His passion for gliding remained, and he only gave up flying when he turned 70 in the early 1990s. David was a big man, both in body and in spirit. He was known by his family and friends for his kindness and instinctual regard for fairness. With a frame and loud volume like David’s it was easy for him to become a dominant figure, but his humour and raucous laughter combined with easy manners to win him the heart and respect of those around him. His strength of spirit became painfully clear towards the very end of his life when he managed to recover emotionally after having lost both his wife and his daughter.When he died a toy piglet was found tucked up in his hospital bed. His cleaner, Dawn, had given him the last addition to his collection. PETER JAMES CHAMBERLAIN (1948) dedicated his life to music. He was born on 10 March 1927 and died peacefully in his home on 9 July 2005. Countless individuals were taught music by Peter.Yet in the beginning it was Botany that fascinated him, and it was this subject that he read at King’s after attending the University College School in London. After Cambridge he was appointed Lecturer in Botany at University College, London, where he also started to prepare for a PhD. In 1952 Peter suddenly changed careers and abandoned his mosses for the violin, as a student of Max Rostal at the Guildhall School of Music. After two
years under Rostal’s masterly instruction Peter was ready to teach music himself and was appointed to the Bryanston School in Dorset. It did not take long before Peter’s pedagogic flair and emphatic care for his students started to attract talented music scholars to the school. His students were to include Simon Standage and John Eliot Gardiner. At Bryanston Peter also ran extramural activities more influenced by his first aborted career, such as field studies, bee-keeping and gardening. The role of schoolmaster came easily to Peter and he was well liked by colleagues and friends. Mildly eccentric, meticulous, kind and with great skill in his subject, he had all that it took to be a perfect teacher and mentor. At Bryanston he was eventually appointed Housemaster, and it was generally thought that he would remain as one of the school’s bedrocks. All were surprised when in 1971 Peter announced that he was moving from Dorset to the Scottish Borders. He had taken up a position as a violin instructor in Roxburghshire and Selkirkshire; it was time for some changes. The most important change of them all was to come soon afterwards when Peter encountered Bridget, whom he married in 1975.The couple were to have two sons,Timothy and Paul. Peter plunged himself into the local music life in the Borders with enthusiasm and energy. He was a founding member of the RoxburghTrio in which he and two other regional instructors brought music to the remote communities in the area. Galashiel’s Clef Club as well as local operatic societies profited from Peter’s skill and his willingness to share it. Peter and Bridget lived in Bowden, where they were a much-loved part of the community.After retiring in 1987 Peter dedicated even more time to meeting and helping people through music, as well as to digging the pond of his dreams in his garden. Now he had a place where his mosses could grow. Peter also started keeping bees again.Together with his family he travelled to more remote parts of Scotland to discover and admire it. Being of service to others was so engrained in Peter that he could not stop, even when he had retired and reached an advanced age. He delivered warm 101 OBITUARIES
