Trevor was in the class of 1955, started practice in Springs before opening a two-roomed consultancy in Bryanston and then developed the Hyde Park Veterinary Clinic. Practice was initially mixed but gradually shifted to small animals as the northern suburbs of Johannesburg became more urbanised – the area next to Monte Casino, for instance, was a pig farm and the River Club area a dairy farm that Trevor visited on a regular basis, where he did all the AI's using chilled semen in those days (thermos flask fromTaurus in Irene being collected on a Tuesday at Johannesburg station). Trevor will be remembered for the inspiration, encouragement and mentoring to many colleagues who entered the profession over the years – there were always keen school kids in the hospital or on his rounds over weekends and holidays. Trevor is survived by his son Graeme in the UK and daughters Bridgid and Heather (Lol) in Australia to whom we extend our most sincere condolences. v Chris Carrington Eulogy: Dr Trevor Robson 01 May 1931 – 09 May 2020
