While Simon attended the selective Sydney High, the old school of many notable Australians, Jonathan won a scholarship to Sydney College, a school that takes pride in its classical studies as well as its excellent science department. Simon made some lifelong friendships at Sydney High. One of his friends, Tim, played the classical guitar and offered to teach the musically talented Jonathan to play the instrument. My son developed a passion for it. He learned quickly and many an evening was spent as he played and we listened in delight. Jonathan loved his time at Sydney College, excelling in his studies. Beyond schoolwork, it was gratifying to see this tall, lanky, socially rather shy boy making friends with others who had similar interests. We could feel Simon’s and Jonathan’s excitement at the vast horizons opening before them. One day in the early weeks of his attendance at Sydney High, Simon came home and asked: ‘Have you heard of Descartes?’ I asked him why.
