A FORMER deputy features editor of the Evening Press, Ronald Willis (properly Horace Ronald), will be 90 on April 21. Though he would be the last to encourage such, a celebratory fuss would be appropriate.

His several books include Portrait of York and Yorkshire’s Historic Buildings (both Robert Hale).

Happy birthday, Ron.

Ron Willis (aka Bill Proude, a former colleague, not a relative), First Avenue, Mount Lawley, Perth, Western Australia.
