of duty. Therefore, his irreplaceable and
distinguished services will be greatly missed.
David’s career in both the public and private
sector is a shining example that must
inspire younger generations to work hard
and maintain high levels of integrity and
dedication to the service of humanity.
I remember David from his early days as a
management trainee in the mining industry to
the apex of his career as head of the Central
Bank; he led by example as a committed
employee with an impressive work ethic. This,
he also demonstrated in the academia when
he served as Chairman of the University of
Zambia Council.
On behalf of the Zambian government and
indeed on my own behalf, kindly accept our
heartfelt condolences on this tragic loss.’

RACHEL BROWN,
née McKay, (1983,
Chemistry) died
on 5th December
2012 aged 48 after
losing a five-year
battle with Breast
Cancer.
Whilst at Oxford she won a half blue for
gymnastics and was the College’s Women’s
Captain of Boats for 1986-87. After Catz she
joined Price Waterhouse where she qualified
as a chartered accountant and was awarded
Tenth in the Order of Merit for her result in the
ACA professional exams.
Rachel met her future husband Jem (1983,
Geography) whilst at Catz and they were
married in 1991. Rachel and Jem have three
children Max, Phoebe and Finn. Since 1996,
Rachel worked part-time in the finance
department at Warwick University; a job which
gave her the intellectual challenge she thrived
on but allowed her to balance work with her
desire to devote time to bringing up her family.
Rachel’s friendship and courage in facing
cancer touched many people’s lives and
a congregation of over 300 attended her
memorial service, including a number of
friends from Catz. Two College friends,
Katherine Tansley, née Pearce (1982,
Medicine) and Carolyn Bath, née Akers
(1983, Chemistry), delivered moving tributes.
The family is raising money for three charities
in memory of Rachel. Donations can be made
