Next Thursday would have been Graham Rees's 85th Birthday, had he not flown off this mortal coil in June. His decision was not to have a funeral. This was pretty typical of him, but it did deny his Family as well as us, his friends and aquaintences a chance to say goodbye and mark his passing.
As such we will be holding a memorial all day sea-watch at the Strumble look-out on the Sunday following his birthday, September 12th.
The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park have kindly funded a new information panel to be displayed at the look-out, describing some of the buildings history and Grahams part, along with that of Jack Donovan, in securing its future for those of us for which the building is a very special place.
We hope to reveal the new panel at two o clock (14.00) on Sunday afternoon followed by a minutes silence in which I wouldn't be surprised if a strange bird flies by!
Thinking about it were it not for Graham, Sea Trust would probably not exist. The lookout has been an essential focus for our Porpoise work and cetacean observations. He was also my inspiration to set Sea Trust up,using the Pembrokeshire Bird Club, of which he was a founder. as a model.
All welcome!
