Captain Roger Lockyer R.N.
We are all greatly saddened by the death of Captain Roger Lockyer, the former
Naval Attache in Athens. Roger has been a tremendous help to the Trust;
the 1994 crew may remember him visiting the ship for the projected trip to
Methana. His illness was diagnosed in May 1995, and he died after a spirited
and courageous fight on 15 November 1996, aged 50. Our condolences go to
Sue, his widow, and to Simon and Richard.
Hermann Pietrusky
We were also sad to learn of the death, on 24 July 1997, of Hermann Pietrusky,
who was a staunch supporter of the trireme. He came to see and row the trial
piece at Henley in 1985, and came to the commissioning ceremony in 1987.
He wrote a number of good, well-informed articles in the ship research and
modellers' journal Das Logbuch which he edited, and also made some of
the best fully-detailed models yet built of the Olympias.
He delighted us all by his enthusiasm and deep interest in the trireme.
We extend our sympathy to Frau Lore Pietrusky.
