Lawrence S. Hamilton

Larry's photo is still on my pin board - 4 years have gone very fast - would love to have a cup of tea with Linda - we could perhaps invite Jim Thorsell as well,

Larry and Linda are both in our thoughts today - for very different reasons. Hard to reconcile that Larry departed 4 years ago -- where did the time go? More More poignantly is the fact that today is Graeme Worboys tangi (funeral) - both Larry and Graeme were the rocks that many of us tied our conservation efforts and believes to. Also a good day to remember Larry's good friend and my mentor PHC (Bing) Lucus. Another rock that is part of the "conservation reef" that endures.

NANCY AND I have a memorial plaque for Lorenzo in our garden in Wilmer BC. We toast to him.. THE MEMORIES REMAIN...

I keep Larry's photo on a pin board above my home office desk - it's a constant reminder of the friendship, support and good solid sage advice I received from Larry over many years. Often pause think of the good times I was able to share with Larry and Linda - they both had a great influence on me. Nga mihi nui

Good bye Larry! You gave me the priviledge of playing with me your last tennis match. I'll miss you...

In Kakadu, in Hawai'i, throughout the Pacific; in Costa Rica and elsewhere I loved being with him. I also shared his passion for our Rainbow Bee-eaters in Australia and the gorgeous Motmots of the Costa Rican...
