Pat and Peter Shaw

"Peter would always put his view in a no nonsense frank way but always with courtesy and usually a chuckle as well. I loved to have him on my side in debates around the table at Stalactites. He could put my arguments far more eloquently and authoritatively than I could. I met Patsy a few times and she was always charming and clearly an intellectual match for Peter.
We have lost two truly wonderful human beings."

"I only met Pat once. A long time back, maybe in the 80s, I was visiting HO for several days for some long forgotten reason. Peter invited me home for dinner one evening. After we had chatted about met matters for quite a while Peter asked Pat to tell us about her work. Pat demurred, saying that we wouldn’t understand. That didn’t go down too well with Peter, who pressed the issue. So Pat proceeded to describe a very intricate laboratory procedure. After a while I suspect that Peter may have been silently conceding that perhaps Pat was right." (Posted by Geoff Crane https://groups.google.com/forum/
