Les Hanson- 1942-2013

We are sad to report that Les Hanson passed away in the early hours of Friday morning after a short battle with cancer of the oesophagus. 

Les was Chairman of LERA for several years from 1997 to 1999 and then continued as editor of the Newsletter until 2006. His wife,Lee has asked us to pass on this upsetting news with permission to include a notice in the next Newsletter. 

He played regularly in an orchestra. He was a good neighbour and he will be sorely missed not only by his family but his wide circle of friends and acquaintances.

If any of you wish to add your own memories of Les please send them to us by email to leracontact@gmail.com
