These poems were written by Robert Vipan between 1985 and 2014. Most of the poems are about individuals or specific occasions. A few are of general interest. One is about a teenager who had committed suicide and Vipan hoped to give comfort to the teenager's mother. Some have been revised slightly, but most are still in their original form.
About the Author
Robert Vipan was born in Northamptonshire, England, on 15 May, 1941. He was brought up in the village of Morcott Rutland in the smallest county in England. He attended Stamford School, was Pack Leader in the Cubs, a Patrol Leader in the Scouts, and then a Private in the CCF Air Section. So, as you can see, his career in that department went downhill!
Vipan attended London University at the College of Estate Management. He passed the Law Exam and decided it might be worth going into Law. He qualified as a Solicitor in 1965. He became a Notary Public in 1985. He worked for Kelham and Sons Stamford becoming Senior Partner in 1980. He worked for two years in the successor firm, Chattertons. He retired in 2008.
Vipan has always enjoyed driving and still drives on tracks, though now rather slowly!
