The newspapers here have reported the death of Dr. Cliff Bertrand, former lecturer at Mausica, and regular contributor to the blog. Dr. Bertrand caught the Mausiac spirit from his position as lecturer, and fell in with the alumni. His sharing of photographs of Mausicans as athletes was one of his favourite things to do, and I think a real contribution to the collective of us as we have continued to look back. Clearly the place affected him in the same way that it affected the rest of us. I found him to be a shy man, who had the difficult task of making his content reachable from a lecturn, when more informal spaces might sometimes have been more appropriate for the more dynamic content of his field. But he clearly found the place to be nurturing, and on leaving Mausica kept improving himself. I was on the Mausica track team for time and enjoyed working with him. A gentle, good person. A Mausican to the end.
