Letter: Stuart Hall obituary

I first met Stuart Hall (obituary, 11 February) in 1963 on a Campaign Caravan workshop project with CND in Welwyn Garden City. He edited down his newsletter copy to fit a stencil while I was in the process of typing it.

On a later occasion, he told me that if I didn't understand what someone was saying, it was the fault of the speaker for not explaining themselves clearly rather than my fault for not understanding. From then on, I had the courage to put my hand up and ask for explanations at all sorts of meetings. Thank you, Stuart.
