“I was absolutely devastated upon hearing the news that Dick and Enid Eyeington had been murdered in Somaliland, East Africa last week.

Dick was headmaster at Waterford-Kamhlaba school that I went to in Swaziland in the early seventies. He was a mentor, geography master and all round first class teacher and Afrophile, as was his wife Enid. I had an unforgettable field trip with them to Lesotho where we found dinosaur footprints in the lava mountains.

My heartfelt condolences to their children Mark and Louise and to all the students whose lives were enriched by knowing these two extraordinary, unique and inspired individuals.”
