Admiral Dawson and his sister Thelma were guests of honour at the annual reunion function of the Baldwin Girls and Boys schools held on 3rd November 2007 at Evoma Hotel, Bangalore.

When I requested the Admiral for his autograph on the sheet that carried the school song/ hymn, he graciously obliged. He also took out a visiting card from his wallet and handed it to me.
