I first met James in 1994, when I started to work with Nicky Rumsey at what was to become CAR (The Centre for Appearance Research) at UWE, Bristol. Like so many other people, I will never forget the first time I met him and little did I know at that time what an impact he would have on my life. Always inspiring, always fun, always interesting, and always interested. You are very missed, Dr Partridge. with love and happy memories, Di
