I have very fond memories of Marshall. Seventy-four years ago my father and his were partners in a law firm. We lived a few houses away from each other in Lawley Road, Bulawayo.
It was Marshall who introduced me to the music of Sibelius and I have clear memories of a group of people sitting in a living room and being overwhelmed by the manifest and highly innovative sound of the music
Subsequently, Marshall and I created the Bulawayo Music Appreciation Society. We would meet in people's living rooms and introduce our favourite music to one-another on gramophone records.
I only discovered Marshall's painting after I had left Bulawayo in 1955. I find his pictures deeply moving and sensitive- an indication of his character.
I am grateful to his sister Merle for creating an archive of his work which greatly deserves to be preserved and remembered.
