<p>Ruth.........a stab in the dark but might you have had relatives (Valentines) living in Harringay Road in the 1950s/60s by any chance ? We lived at 40a and our neighbours at 38 were Valentine.</p>

<p>I am late to this discussion, but I read about Bruce's death in The Week and feel privileged to have met him. I knocked on his door last winter and he graciously invited me in for a glass of sherry. He would also write me little notes of encouragement as fellow clergy.</p>
<p>I've since found out that would address the crowd at Glastonbury on peace issues. </p>

<p>One of my few claims to fame is cooking a meal for him in about 1970. A then boyfriend had let him at LSE (not sure what BK was doing there?) and invited him to dinner, in a very small single room, painted black and purple, over a boxing gym in Shadwell. Few Catholic priests would have come to Shadwell then, let alone been gracious.</p>

<p>I've always appreciated having him as a local all these years, without having spoken. A reminder of the importance of activism. </p>

<p>Lothair Rd, Hugh. But is it South or North? </p>
<p>I missed him today in FP, on a seat in McKenzie Garden where we occasionally chatted. Last time I met him, a week before the local elections, I congratulated him on managing with one stick while I hobbled along on two. Rest in Peace Bruce.</p>
