Marko FlemingTwo Cupar brothers showed great enterprise in 2003 in attempting to bring Broadband to Cupar Telephone Exchange.Alan Fleming, a former pu pil, and his younger brother Marko, who was still at School, took their idea to the public in a 50cc three-wheel car with their message painted on it. It seems that British Telecom has said that 300 people from the area must register their interest in the fast stream internet service be fore they will be willing to upgrade the exchange. They have joined 2 other local lads,Alastair Brown and Alex McHardy, who have developed their own special sites to try to speed up the introduction of broadband services.

In December 1963 Ian's first overseas posting was to Ghana where their daughter Sarah was born. Ian's work then took them to Liberia, during which period their son Hugh was born (and where President Tubman issued Ian with a deportation order, as Ian had politely asked him to pay his overdue account). Posts in Zambia, London, Tokyo, Hong Kong and back in London followed, with Ian heading the sales side of Shell's International Aviation Business in the latter. In 1986 they moved to Dubai with Ian becoming General Manager of Shell's Gulf marketing and trading operations. They returned to the UK in 1991, and a year later Ian decided to retire one year early. After retirement, Ian continued to be involved with Shell by running The Shell Centenary Scholarship Fund bringing 65 students each year from developing countries for one year of post-graduate study at six of the best British universities. Ian was in the process of finally retiring and handing over the running of this scholarship when he was diagnosed with secondary cancer in the lung (he had never smoked), the origin of which was never found, which he then fought bravely for two years. Ian is survived by his wife, a daughter and a son and five grandchildren. (Contributed by his brother, Alan).
