Roger Whittaker's Kenya roots



Scott (Marsabit) House prefects -- 1954. Roger Whittaker, the song writer and musician standing first from the left: source http://www.oldcambrians.com/photos- Scott Prefects 1954.html.

The Whittaker's grocery store once stood where The Mall Westlands stands today. There was one at the Spring Valley Shopping Centre as well.

Roger Whittaker's dad, Edward 'Ted' Whittaker later sold Slater and Whittaker Ltd to Mr Vinodlal Chagnilal Ruparel. As fate would have it both owners of this business were murdered by robbers  in their homes almost 20 years apart, 1989 and 2010 in Spring Valley and Westlands Road respectively.

Slate and Whittaker is now by Mr Ruparel's sons Tilak and Roop.
