HANKIN, Ray Played a few games of cricket with Ray for Great Ayton Old Scholars about 27 years ago. Ray wasn't an old scholar (of the Friends School GA) and neither was I. In fact, only one player in the team - David French - was. Ray was delightful company. Full of fun, down to Earth and, surprisingly, not in the least bit competitive. What a smashing bloke!
