Gerry, apart from being a staunch man of Leinster Cricket, was a great debater when a pupil at Belvedere, whose opinions, robustly expressed, eschewed nonsense for common sense. I never saw him after leaving school, but was delighted to see the tribute paid to him by Leinster Cricket’s Philip Smith online. He deserved nothing less. I sent in a short article to The Irish Times Sports pages on Gerry, but they don’t seem to have space for it. As a journalist, I’d love to pen an article on Gerry for an Irish Cricketing journal. Please contact me at the addresses below. Tel: 087-990-3906. RIP, Gerry, your old OB friend Peter Thompson, Auditor, Rhetoric Debating Society, Belvedere College, 1971-‘72. Hail and Farewell… .
