Frank Edgar obituary Susan Hodgett
My father, Frank Edgar, who has died aged 87, was one of Northern Ireland’s most experienced civil servants and made significant contributions to many aspects of life in the province. He was one of a postwar generation that fundamentally believed in the value of public service.
Frank was born in Belfast, the oldest of two sons to Mae (nee McNeice), a hairdresser, and Bob, a mechanic, and won a scholarship to attend Methodist College. An enthusiastic cricketer, sailor and golfer, he once undertook school detention with a fellow pupil, James Ellis (later an actor, and star of Z Cars) for throwing snowballs in the quadrangle.

WINDSOR TERRACE New York City was covered in at least 10 inches of snow, as of mid-morning on Dec. 17, during its first snowfall of the season. While snow plows scraped the asphalt outside, Diocese of Brooklyn’s students were inside, learning remotely at home.
The snow day happened to occur during a tricky time on the academic calendar. Parish schools and Catholic academies in the diocese are scheduled to begin their winter recess on Friday, Dec. 18.
Physically closing school buildings with no remote instruction on Thursday, Dec. 17, and then returning to school for in-person instruction on Friday, didn’t seem like a viable option, noted Joan McMaster, Associate Superintendent for Principal and Teacher Personnel.
