Following the launch of Churcher's College Community, Ray Martin (49) made contact to tell us about his inspirational use of a blazer badge once owned by his uncle, Harold Martin (15). Sadly, Harold died in 1918 in the First World War and Ray never knew him, but the hallmarked sterling silver blazer badge (orginally it would have been sewn onto the blazer by pin holes top and bottom) was passed to Ray, who has made sure it has always had a home on on his sailboats, currently 'Tantivy of Hayling'.

Ray commissioned a local jeweller in West Vancouver, British Columbia to make up a scroll with 'Credita Coelo' - the original spelling of the College motto. For Ray, 'being entrusted to heaven' was a "comforting feeling" during voyages around the North and South Pacific, the last of which was from Vancouver to Cape Horn via Mexico, the Galapagos Islands and Chile, returning via Robinson Crusoe Island, Pitcairn Island, the Marquesas Islands, Hawaii and back home to Vancouver.
