This page seems to be all that remains of the Peter Young scandal that filled the newspapers ten years ago. I knew Peter very well, and I still can't believe what he did.
There are a lot of Peter Youngs in the world. There are even two Peter William Youngs, born on the same day in the UK (I would guess in '58 or '59). Peter will remember how he came to know that fact, the second one, I believe, having being born in Scotland.
Peter is by far the most famous person that I've ever known well, personally. We kept in touch for quite a while after leaving Jesus College, but I haven't seen him since 1996, when his world collapsed and I went off to live in Singapore. I hope things have improved for him in the last nine or ten years. I imagine that the strain that he was under in the mid 90's was intolerable.
