Just heard that a guy on my PGDIP course died on Friday. Peter Orford. Was a really nice chap, had decided to have a career change and was going from teaching at Doncaster School for the Deaf into interpreting. He had an enthusiasm for life and I think his presence on the course was appreciated by all. He was very short and was affectionately called 'pocket Pete' by many of us.

He also had prostate cancer.

I, for one, never even knew he was ill. My last communication with him was about the title of this blog, as he was a fan of Bladerunner too.

So, In Pace Requiescat, Pete. Sorry we didn't get the chance to talk some more. Travel in peace.
