142 OBITUARIES It may have been the Choir School that instilled in Larry the love of music that was to remain with him throughout his life. In later years, he and his wife Esca were stalwart members of the Dartington Community Choir, many of whom made up the throng who sang at his funeral. Larry’s enjoyment of his education should be understood in the context of his never-failing optimism – friends speculate that had he been sent to a borstal, he would have found a way to be positive about it. But after finishing his education at Westminster School, Laurence returned to King’s where he spent some of his happiest years. On leaving the College, he was stationed in Germany with the Royal Artillery on his National Service, where he learned to swear. He resumed his medical training on return to civilian life, and completed his degree at the Middlesex Hospital. First Larry became a GP, but then moved back to London to specialise in microbiology. It was this field to which he devoted his intellectual passion, spending 25 years as a consultant microbiologist at Torbay Hospital. Larry was the hospital’s first full-time microbiologist, and had a hand in pioneering research as a council member of the Association of Clinical Pathologists and a member of the editorial board of Clinical Pathology. Foremost amongst Larry’s interests outside the hospital were his loving wife Esca (née Drury) and his three children Anne, Catherine and Crispin. Aside from the campanology in which he and Esca delighted, Larry was a parish councillor, loved sailing and old cars and went skiing each January. Between Larry’s enthusiastic pursuit of these activities, he found time to tour far and wide responding to the continuing interest in his father’s work. Even towards the end of Friedrich Hayek’s life, his son had begun to take on certain duties for him; for example it was Larry who accepted the Presidential Medal of Freedom from George Bush in 1991. Larry transported a weighty gold Nobel Prize past bemused customs officials the world over, alongside manuscripts including that of The Road to Serfdom. Larry died on the morning of his 70th birthday, 15 July 2004, having recently returned from a visit to meet Austrian dignitaries at the Hayek Institute in Vienna.
PETER HOLLINS (1972) was born in Derby on 23 September 1953. He attended Hinckley Grammar School before coming up to King’s to read Natural Sciences. Peter was a scholar who won numerous prizes and graduated with a First. After obtaining a PhD from the University of London, Peter moved on to the University of Reading where he became a Reader in the Department of Chemistry. His principal research interest was surface science, where infrared spectroscopy was of particular value since it offered a unique means of studying surface species over a wide range of ambient pressures. Peter was part of a group that led the development of a new infrared beamline at the Daresbury Synchroton Radiation Source, enabling the mapping of the chemical makeup of materials. This has a wide range of applications from medicine to space science. He was also involved in a project examining how chips absorb fat, with the ultimate aim of developing a low-fat chip. Peter died on 28 March 2005. HUGH CHARLES HOLMAN (1943) was born in Hayes, Kent, on 13 April 1925 and was educated at the Dunstable School. He came up to King’s to read Engineering in 1943 but his studies were soon interrupted by the war. Like many of his fellow students at King’s he joined the RAF and trained as a pilot, but was lucky enough not to have to test his skills in real battle. In 1945 Hugh was able to resume his studies at King’s, though in Natural Sciences as the Engineering course had no more spaces. From his days at the RAF Hugh had gained a passion for flying and while at King’s he continued in the Volunteer Reserve of the RAF as well as in the University Gliding Club. In his future career Hugh was to travel all around the world, but it was Cambridge that he remembered as the most beautiful and happiest place of all that he had ever visited. After graduating in 1950 Hugh started working in industry, first as a research chemist and then as a research metallurgist. But already by 1953 he was back up in the air, this time as a pilot for BOAC. Hugh spent some 12,000 hours 143 OBITUARIES
