1969: The death of H J Fleure

H J Fleure was a remarkable man.
He was the librarian of the GA for decades and has his own blog post here on the blog and has been mentioned in so many other posts. He became Honorary Secretary of the GA in 1917, appointed by Halford MacKinder.
He attended GA meetings into his 90s.
In 1969, he passed away, and the final link with the origins of the GA was lost.

The remembrance piece, written by another former President E.G. Bowen, is worth reading to appreciate the extent to which Fleure's work helped define the GA.
It is followed up by a piece from another former President Alice Garnett, who outlines how Fleure joined the GA in 1906.

The piece finishes with some important words for any who follow in Fleure's footsteps and hold an important role within the Association.
