research group, the graduates of which now hold positions all over the world, became a Fellow of Queens' College, and was renowned at both Departmental and College level for his teaching and lecturing.He also served as British Coeditor of Acta Crystallographica from 1969 to 1980, processing a phenomenal number of papers with care, knowledge and not a little tact!Peter was very active in College life being, at various times, Junior Bursar, Senior Bursar and Director of Studies in Natural Sciences at Queens'.He was made a Life Fellow when he retired in 1988.On his retirement Peter joined the Crystallographic Data Centre part-time as the Senior Database Editor who 'sorted out' the more complex problems that arose during the CCDC's checking process, leaving only a couple of years ago due to failing health.His contribution at the CCDC was immense, due to his infectious enthusiasm and deep knowledge of his subject.As a person, Peter was both a very private man, who delighted in his family and the progress of his grandchildren, and also an engaging and humorous companion with an endless capacity to surprise.He always detected and laughed at the absurdities of life, and debunked anything pompous or pretentious.He had a lifelong interest in many sports and played cricket enthusiastically (and extremely capably -as this bowler rapidly came to know!) well into his fifties.Peter was a wonderful colleague and friend and many areas of life are the poorer for his passing.
