Roger Longrigg
1929 - 2000
Born in 1929 at Edinburgh, Roger Longrigg spent his early childhood in Scotland,
Iraq, Palestine, and Buckinghamshire. In 1940 he went to the U.S.A., where he
took part, as a young teenager, in summer camps, dances - correctly dressed in
tuxedo - hay-rides, and various ball-games. On his return to England in 1944 he
went to Bryanston School, but has now (he says) lost the excel lent education
and sense of Christian endeavour he acquired there. Entering the army in 1947,
he was commissioned and spent a year in Egypt. In 1949 he went to Magdalen
College, Oxford, for three years, but his literary efforts were confined to
answering invitations. He started in advertising in 1952, is still in it, and
still likes it. Interested in racing, he has also travelled widely in Italy and
made many friends there. Roger Longrigg is married and has two daughters.
