Ben WilliamsBen Williams was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Cupar in 1999 to take part in the Rotary Youth Leadership Award scheme, which involves the pupils taking part in a week of strenuous outdoor activities as well as classroom work. Meg WillamsIn 2002 Meg Willams and Tina Frew had been working with the charity "Storytelling Unplugged" which runs clubs for sto rytelling and traditional music. They were heading for Darm stadt in Germany as part of a private exchange with a Rudolf Steiner School. The project is supported by Fife Council. David WilliamsonDavid Williamson (first year, 1927) died on 4th February 1996. An accountant, David worked for private enterprise, then in the Treasurer's Department of Fife County Council, from which he moved to work with British Gas. He served in the forces for six and a half years during the Second World War. His retirement was spent in St Andrews, and he is survived by his wife and daughter. Philip Peter Williamson(1943-2008) BBHS 1955-61 Phil Williamson died suddenly at home in Dairsie on 15 April 2008. A retired RAF squadron leader, Phil’s interest in aviation was kindled during his schooldays when he was a member of the Auchtermuchty Squadron of the Air Training Corps. On leaving Bell Baxter in 1961 he studied for a BSc in aeronautics at Glasgow University and was accepted into the Royal Air Force on graduation. After flying training on Jet Provosts, Gnats and Hunters, Phil joined 19 Squadron in Germany flying Lightnings. In 1970 he became one of the first RAF pilots to convert onto the Phantom and joined No 43 (Fighter) Squadron, the Fighting Cocks, at RAF Leuchars. This was the start of a long association with the Fife airbase, which continued with his employment as a civilian instructor on the Tornado F3 simulator there. His contribution to military aviation was recognised in the early 90s by the award of a Queen’s Commendation for Valuable Services in the Air. He is survived by a son and daughter. David WillsDavid Wills (1998) signed a contract in 2005 with Publish America for his children's novel Fern's Dragon. He is studying English and American Studies at Dundee University. The story tells of a 6-year old girl whose sculpture of a dragon comes to life and takes her on an adventure to save the Dragon King from the evil dragon Hetfield. David had started writing the story when he was 15 but finished only the first chapter. Having come across it again last year, he took it up again and finished it in a month. He found the publisher via their web site. If this is a success, we may well hear more of David, for he would like to earn his living as a writer and journalist. Good luck to him!
