Writing we do is still inspired by respect for the man and his sense of justice. It is easy to understand why a large circle of people loved and admired him.<br /><br />The public memorial for Ian at the Museum of Anthropology at UBC was so well located. A venue that honours people who helped build our west coast lands was perfect for a man who sent much of his time trying to make the region even better.Norm Farrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06762889793990336381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-7880182129489309872016-04-23T23:57:03.479-07:002016-04-23T23:57:03.479-07:00I remember following Ian as he shared his battle w...I remember following Ian as he shared his battle with us so bravely and thinking what a loss there will be when his illness wins.
