Congratulations to Philip (Pip) Morris who recently celebrated his 100th birthday.  Philip came to Oakham in 1939 as a member of Wharflands.  A rugby and cadet corps enthusiast he left in 1944 to study mechanical engineering at Birmingham University before being commissioned into REME.  Philip's career was in woodworking machinery, for Leicester-based Wadkin Ltd and then as a consultant.  He has lived in the Cotswolds for the last 20 years and celebrated his birthday with several generations of relatives!
