Architect and town planner Peter Eldon Jones died on 26 September. He had been active all his life, and never retired. Peter was born on 11 October 1927. His mother was born a Buchanan and instilled in him a love of Scotland. His father, Wilfrid Eldon Jones, had spent the Great War in India on the north-west frontier and in Mesopotamia, and one year before his son's birth took over a business importing goods from Persia. In 1937 he joined the Admiralty and became a civil servant until he retired. His father taught him both a sense of public duty and an adventurous and entrepreneurial drive.
