We had a visit from Ray Meynink and his wife, Doreen, today. Ray has been running the drug testing programme in Kenya for years and just happened to be in Devon on holiday. We had an interesting chat over a cup of tea and some of Marietta's homemade almond flapjacks.
Doreen said Ray always claims he doesn't talk much, but once the subject is athletics, there's no stopping him. He certainly had a lot to say - not least about unscrupulous agents and the too short careers of too many of the Kenyan runners.
I am searching for a Raymond Meynink, who went to Petts Wood Preparatory School in the south east of London 1940's or 1950's. We are having a Reunion of former pupils on 25 May 2013. Could Ray please contact me on christ_edwards@hotmail.com?
