Mussoorie, November 17
Students, teachers and other staff of Wynberg Allen School and St. George’s College in Mussoorie mouned the death of veteran actor Saeed Jaffrey, a former student of the two schools. Jaffrey died in a London hospital last Saturday.
Old students of the schools posted condolence messages online, especially on facebook and twitter. School librarian Kurian Arackle, sharing a letter received from an alumnus today remembering Saeed Jaffrey, said it was indeed a loss to the country and the schools.
He added that he had a duly autographed book written by the actor in his possession that he would keep as a prized souvenir. Saeed Jaffrey studied up to class X in Wynberg Allen School and later at St. George’s College, Mussoorie.
Jaffrey was a member of the Wynberg-Allen Society and attended the reunions regularly. Six members from the society, namely Mike Harrison, Ken Cumine, Basil Quieros, Ian Loughran, Lionel Connor and Derek Hargrave, were invited on television with Jaffrey at the “This is your Life” programme in London.
