July 13 - 19, 2014: Issue 171
James G Somerville Memorial Service - Charting the Persistent and Way of the Somerville Trek
Lindsay Somerville (son) with Jill Wran and Jan Phillips (daughter) - picture by A J Guesdon, 2014.
We attended the wonderful Celebration of the life of James Graham Somerville AM, one of Warringah, Pittwater and Australia's sterling gentlemen on Saturday July 12th. There were many fine speeches, more then a few tears and just as much laughter when anecdotes were shared to a standing room only crowd of friends, family and all whom had been fortunate to meet or work beside 'Jim'.
A full transcription of all addresses shall be published in the next Issue, along with a few insights for those not familiar with the work and workings of Mr. Somerville - in the meantime... thank you, sir.
