I went back to the V&A to the leaving party of Katrina Royall who I recruited as Course Adminstrator to the V&A/RCA MA Course in the History of Design in July 1987 and has remained a pillar of the Course ever since, looking after the needs of students, not just intellectual, but also social and organisational, and particularly the annual study trips.   I remember Clive Wainwright, the V&A’s great furniture historian, telling me about a theory of organisations that they are dependent on people who are gatekeepers.   Katrina was a gatekeeper.
