Ian
frequently attended our meetings, and always met you with a friendly
greeting and a warm smile. He is said to have been not an ‘active
geologist’ but he certainly showed an interest in our meetings
and activities. In fact, the place where we meet is really all down
to him. It seems (and this is before my time) that when we had to leave
our last venue, Ian, who knew the Vicar of St Peters, persuaded the
Vicar to let us rent the church hall for an evening each week. So, it
was all thanks to him.
He often wore a blazer with an RAF badge. This goes back to his time in the RAF (1958-73), where he served as an instrument assembler. In his last months he became very ill and much disabled and was not able to attend our meetings. Nick Baker |
