Ronald, who moved to Australia after his wife Doris' death to be with his sons, Mark and William, had retired form the railway. The two elder sons studied at La Martiniere College, Lucknow and two daughters in a school in Cuttack, Orissa. Bruce, the youngest of the three sons, and one daughter also moved to Australia while one daughter still lives in Bilaspur. William, whose wife was also from a Bilaspur railway family, and I, were class fellows at LMC.
I was surprised to hear that Bilaspur still has a sizable AI community, unlike most of the railway colonies in the central and northern states of the country.
