Thanks for all the kind and interesting responses about Fred Ord. Clearly, he
was very much liked. I wish I had met him!

His name, and that of his wife Dorothy often appear in the minutes of the

Hi Francis,
W F Ord was more commonly known as Fred or Freddie Ord.
Born 1920, Joined the NPS 1947 Often
I hired a set of pipes made by Ord this year, from the NPS. As a
complete novice I did not know how good they were until I played a few
other sets.
