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

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