In this episode, hear Olly Belcher, Immediate Past President of the St Edmund Hall Association, in conversation with Bob Gaffey, who came up to the Hall in 1975 to read Jurisprudence. Bob threw himself into everything he could at Oxford. He became the JCR Steward, played in the jazz band OxCentrics and coxed the First V111 boat despite having never rowed before. After Oxford, Bob moved back to the States to be with his now wife Deb and he set on his career as a lawyer. Despite being in the US, Bob remained very much in touch with the Hall throughout. He sits on the St Edmund Hall Association Committee and organises the New York Dinner each year with great enthusiasm. Bob recently became an Honorary Fellow of the Hall which meant the world to him.
