London People II

Occasionally, I go to the church I grew up attending...St. Matthew's in Victoria.  Afterwards, I visit my friend, who is a priest.  He would be round seventy now.

About 15 years ao Father Crawford was head of a trust that amonst other things, paid for boys to go to private schools.  I happened to go to St. Matthew's, and it was through Father Crawford that I attended private school.  He didnt ask about my grades, he just said "if you want to go to private school then you shall go to private school.

He continues to serve at the church when he feels up to it.

After John, David is probably the most common British name.  But the David I know is no common man.  David is one of my closest friends...in many respects, he is an ideal man -- not macho, not so proud to cry when the going gets tough and no too busy to help when his friends need a hand.
