Sandy Mclaren Jenkins F54 

Sandy followed his brother Jock into Franklin House. he soon settled in and established himself as a fine piper and keen fisherman. Who could forget Mist covered mountains, echoing from by the weir pool?

Sandy's time at Canford was short, aged 16 he went for a careers interview saying he wished to be a doctor." Medicine Jenkins, I don't think so!" He left, went to a crammer and to quote one of his colleagues, "We have lost a giant of vascular surgery." He published ground-breaking research papers and lectured in the United States.

From an early age Sandy was a great fisherman, pre-empting modern fishers he spent a summer in Iceland in the fifties and fished widely in Scotland, Alaska, Canada, Newfoundland, Russia, Africa and Norway. Returning from one trip, he flew in his waders, as his baggage was overweight.
