A Brush with Weimer

Forty-eight years ago tonight, it was the night before Pam (1948-2015) and I married, and we were amongst the small number of guests invited to a function to farewell Associate Professor Ernest K. Bramsted (1901-1978) as he retired from Sydney University and prepared to return to the UK where he had citizenship. He had come to Sydney University in 1952, but was now deemed to have reached his use-by date. As it turned out, he still had a couple of books in him, and some teaching gigs.
