On behalf of my 97 year old Uncle (John E R Mathews) please accept our deepest condolences. My uncle has often reminisced about John Clay especially while I was scanning in his numerous climbing photos - many of which feature "John Clay" in alpine settings. Attached is one such photo. If the family would like other copies, please email me at [email protected]
