time, she fell in love with the UK and the field of International Education and made it a goal to return. She received her Masters in Intercultural Relations from Lesley University

Fred Camden
- Building manager |
Fred Camden has been the Caretaker of the London Center since it opened in August 1972. He knows every square centimetre of the building and has fixed and painted everything in it, and even outside it [including Bill's bike], at least twice. He hails from Battersea in south London and trained as a scaffolder and as a footballer. He has been married to his childhood sweetheart, Cath, for over 50 years. He has a daughter, two grandchildren, and a great grandson named Freddy. Three warnings: Fred talks in cockney rhyming slang, he has a wicked sense of humour, especially around the front door of the Center, and be careful of standing still for too long around Fred, especially if he has his paintbrush in his hand!" |
