Letter to the Editor – A truly remarkable pathologist

January 2025

Professor Brian Summers reflects on the life and work of Professor Christopher Fletcher.

Restricted resource

I was very distressed to read in the Bulletin of the death of Chris Fletcher. Over the years, he was extremely kind to me and examined a number of my puzzling cases, including dogs, horses and others. A feature of his reports was that he always found something I had written to agree with, even when I was off the mark. To assist as rapidly as possible, I recall that each report was always sent by fax (that gives you a time frame) with the airmail version following.

A truly remarkable pathologist, sorely missed.

The College's apprecation of Professor Chris Fletcher was published in the October Bulletin.
