Lotti Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Just received this via email from King Edwards. Don't know if it will affect any of you. CHRIS KNOWLES died on Sunday 17 September after a tenacious battle against cancer. Chris joined KES at the start of his teaching career in 1972 and remained, rising to be Head of Chemistry, until his retirement in December 2004 after 32 years at the school. He was a very fine teacher, an enthusiastic sportsman and good singer. He was also a very modest and rather shy man. He was greatly looking forward to his retirement. He was struck down with a brain tumour within months of retirement and struggled with all his legendary stubbornness against his illness. Chris was 60. The school intends to organise a Chemistry prize in Chris's memory. Former pupils and colleagues are welcome at Chris's funeral but please pm me for details as I'd rather not post them publicly.
