Talk:Alec Broers, Baron Broers

Kiwi??
I was at an alum dinner in NYC recently and a member of the Cambridge in America board gave a speech in which he referred to Broers (who apparently he knew quite well personally) as a "New Zealander". Is this a mistake or is there some kind of Kiwi ancestry here? Bwithh 03:35, 31 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Not a New Zealander. As stated, born in India, raised in Australia. This should be in various bios about him, and, I know from having talked to him. --Erp 01:24, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Location of photo
The caption on the photo seems long -- maybe too long? The photo's location could be explained in the context of mentioning the formal ceremonies which attend election to the Royal Academy; however, if someone believes that the photo's location should be incorporated into an edited caption, I suppose that could be considered an improvement. The relevant information follows:
 * In 2002, Narita's contributions to naval architecture -- particularly the SWATH configuration and the MIDP assembly -- were recognized by his election to Fellowship of the Royal Academy of Engineering, joining an elite group of only 86 other Foreign Members in the Royal Academy. The Royal Academy of Engineering's 2002 "New Fellows' Dinner" took place at the Drapers' Hall, Throgmorton Street in London; and pre-dinner photos commemorating this gala event were organized in the Drapers' formal Drawing Room.
