IF HE HAD not been a chartered secretary, Eric Russell would have liked to have been either a journalist or a lawyer, although with characteristic modesty he does not think he would have been a success as either.
He is now drifting enthusiastically into a vague future in which he will play golf more than once a week, play more bridge, and as president and a life member of his tennis club, "do something more active there." He wants to extend his reading, look up neglected friends and make an assault on the garden.
That should occupy most of the time of the man who seemed to know everything, who was never too busy to help anyone and never too grand to be able to laugh. He was one of the most able and dedicated officials that the RHA ever had and certainly one of its most popular. Roadway House will not be the same without his hurricane progress around the office, punctuated by a smoker's short, hard cough.
