"the archives are old papers that no one ever uses?" there was a huge exhibit about the history and scope of the archives, but all the text was in french so i didn't glean too much
Here are 16 photos of a visit to the Edward Johnston Foundation Archive in Ditchling, England on 28 July 2017. The Edward Johnston Foundation is run by calligrapher Gerald Fleuss and when we visited the archive it was about to be transferred from its temporary location just outside Ditchling (nearby Wivelsfield Green) towards the Crafts Study Centre, part of the University for the Creative Arts at Farnham in Surrey. This temporary location of the EJF is shared with lettercarvers Chris Elsey and Tom Sargeant. The EFJ Archive can be a useful resource for those who want to research the lettering arts in England. As an example, here is a sketch by Michael Renton, intended for a lettering in the Winchester Cathedral Visitors’ Centre. The EJF Archive has the original pen on paper sketches (amongst many other sketches by Michael Renton). For completion two photos of the final incised and raised lettering at Winchester Cathedral Visitors’ Centre have also been included. These letters have been carved in Portland limestone. The EJF is based in Ditchling, a small village in the south of England where also the Ditchling Museum of Art & Craft is located. Next to the museum is Saint Margaret's Church, where Edward Johnston and his wife Greta Grieg are buried. Some houses in the village are completed with a plaque, so it’s easy to see for example where Edward Johnston use to live.
As a bonus we’ve added a photo of Edward Johnston’s children in a car in Ditchling. It’s probably not his own car, as according to his grandson he never owned a car. The car is just bloody cool, and we had never seen this photo before. It’s probably not available online yet. This photo is from the collection of Michael Alford, who has a large collection of historical photos of Ditchling and arts and crafts ephemera.

Back in 1976 I taught a group of blind students to SCUBA Dive. Because it was the first classes of blind students, I had the honor to have Jacques Cousteau along with actor Jack Lemon present the Certifications at the Seattle Aquarium. I had also taught classes for the deaf. All had to complete the course just like everyone else. We had a lot of fun and I learn a lot about their world as well.

Given by Mrs Robert Lancaster as a thank offering for the safe return of her son, Lieutenant John Cecil Lancaster, from the war in South Africa. He returned to Allesley on June 3rd 1901 to great celebrations in the village.

LANCASTER, JOHN CECIL
Major
Date of Death: 08/05/1915
Age: 41
Royal Warwickshire Regiment 1st Bn.
Grave Reference: VIII. C. 5.
Oosttaverne Wood Cemetery.
Son of the late Robert and Euphemia Lancaster, late of ‘the Elms’, Allesley. Served in the South African Campaign
Robert Lancaster was born in Eccles, Lancashire on 21 April 1843. He was the son of John Lancaster an engineer, businessman, fellow of the Geological Society and MP for Wigan between 1868-74. He eventually came to live at Bilton Grange, Dunchurch in the early 1870’s (now an independent day and boarding prep school). Robert was called to the Bar at Middle Temple on 10 June 1870. He married Euphemia Margaret Lindsay (born Scotland 1851) in 1873. They had five children - John Cecil (born Wolston 1875), Beatrice L. (born Wolston 1876), Euphemia M. (born Wolston 1877), James (born Wolston 1878) and Maud (born Allesley 1879).
Robert brought his family to Allesley in the late 1870’s where it is known that they lived at ‘The Elms’. The Lancaster household employed six live-in servants - a cook, parlour maid, housemaid, kitchen maid, nurse and under-nurse.
Robert died on 1 February 1882 aged 38 and is interred in a tomb in All Saints graveyard (with his wife and youngest daughter). The tombstone states he was a Captain in the 4th Bn. Royal Warwickshire Regiment.
His young widow and family continue to live in Allesley until at least 1891, with Euphemia being able to maintain the household on her own means. She employed four live-in servants - a nurse, parlour maid, housemaid and kitchen maid. By 1911 only two daughters, Beatrice and Euphemia are still living in Allesley (their mother and sister Maud were then living in Kent).
Robert's wife, Euphemia, is commemorated by the gift of the treble bell in All Saints from her daughters Euphemia and Beatrice in 1947 (their mother had presented the tenor bell in 1901).
Sadly, both their sons John Cecil and James were killed in The Great War. John Cecil was a Major in the 1st Bn. Royal Warwickshire Regiment, he was killed in action on 8 May 1915 and is buried in Oosttaverne Wood Cemetery in Belgium. James was a Captain in the 3rd Bn. Monmouthshire Regiment and also died on 8 May 1915. He is commemorated on the Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial. Both are also commemorated on the War Memorials in All Saints and the Village Hall.
1974- A Prep Language Department Cultural Festival, held in the Duffy Hall cafeteria, featured musical performances not normally found as part of a Prep student's repertoire. Peeking in at the left are Prep Librarian Art Klimowicz (who probably played the violin that afternoon) and art teacher Ed Havas.

羅志全先生 67 歲 藝術家
羅先生年少時, 長居越南, 其後適逢排華事件, 欲舉家遷移中國廣西, 可惜中道有阻, 未能成行, 只好留置在昆明, 在農場工作. 不久中國展開越南反擊戰, 一腔熱血之下, 投筆從戎, 隨軍遠征. 戰後回國, 得知太座已遷居香港, 幾經轉接, 重回北海市, 以當時船票二兩黃金之價值, 投奔怒海, 東渡香港, 被安置在啟德難民營, 司職 ”自治委員會秘書長 “ 是難民營代表之一. 稍後, 有幸遇境逢緣, 巧合英國領事館挑選難民, 18個月後再度遠涉重洋, 移居英國曼城, 至今已廿年矣 !
初到曼城, 加入華人文化中心, 初試啼聲, 一曲二胡獨奏, 音韻悠揚悅耳, 技驚四座, 而巧畫丹青, 生動活潑, 帯有神彩, 甚稱一絕, 羨煞旁人. 始後以書畫音樂謀生, 重上青雲之路. 方知胸藏萬卷經, 不及一技可防身, 才藝是財富, 果然是至理名言.
對曼城唐人街之往日事跡,如文化協會之成立過程, 排坊之建設等等, 娓娓道來, 瞭如指掌. 每年佳節盛會, 必親力親為, 參與建設, 策劃工作, 對推廣中華文化, 貢獻良多.
回顧青春歲月, 自小受粵劇文化薰陶, 加上天資聰敏, 竟練成一身才藝, 少年時在音樂, 繪畫藝術領域, 漸露頭角, 才華盡顯. 在越南戰火下, 飽歷風霜, 曾記在美軍空襲之下, 在槍林彈雨之間, 仍無懼色, 疾書作畫. 雖然往事已成雲夢, 早已灰飛煙滅, 但過中境況, 記憶猶新, 如歷歷在目.
羅先生忠於藝術, 而輕視名利金錢, 早年事跡, 可歌可泣, 現已兒女成才, 有幸在此太平盛世, 平淡歲月之中, 歡渡餘年 !
