John Freeman
Ronald Farquhar
Wednesday 20 April 2011
I never worked with Ronnie Farquhar but I recall that when John Freeman and I were working on the 1972 breakthrough union agreement, Ronnie was one of two senior overseas correspondents we uncovered who had slipped through upgrading in the company’s secret grading system. Getting the system into the open helped both of them jump up the scale which even an embarrassed management thought he deserved.

Aubrey was a true gentleman, courteous, painstaking and kind. Always busy and a stickler for accuracy, he was very helpful to me when I joined Reuters as a trainee and, alongside colleagues such as Claude Richardson and John Freeman, made the Sports Desk a particularly welcoming, encouraging and congenial place at which to work.
