ECF Members were sad to hear of the death of Hubert Ward, the first Headmaster of the English College. Two founder-directors of the ECF, Martyn Bond and Ann Lewis, worked closely with Hubert from his appointment through the two years in London while the financial and administrative framework for the College was put in place into the early years in Prague, when he worked to turn the founders’ vision into a reality. Hubert, as a mathematician, worked wonders in the financial perils of the early years, while his late wife Elizabeth taught in the College on a voluntary basis. Their contribution to the creation of the English College is incalculable.
ECF Chairman Elizabeth Cooke, with Martyn Bond and Ann Lewis and the Headmaster Nigel Brown, attended Hubert’s funeral and welcomed the opportunity to express their condolences to Hubert’s widow Judy and his children.
