Tribute
Whittaker In a tribute to the late Bernard William
Whittaker (see p559),
MARK DONAGHY writes:
I had the pleasure of becoming acquainted with Bernard
a decade ago, at a meeting of the Bradford branch of the Royal Pharmaceutical
Society. I was the managing pharmacist of what was then Conquests Chemists,
in Clayton Road, Bradford. It transpired that Bernard had owned this
pharmacy from the 1930s to the early 1960s and this link became the catalyst
for our cross-generational friendship.
Bernard was a campaigner throughout his life. He was an active member
of the Communist Party, Bradford Pensioners Association and the Keighley
branch of the
Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. He was one of the marchers in the first CND
march to Aldermaston in 1958. Until a couple of years ago, he was also a regular
performer with a Bradford-based choir, the Glen Singers.
Bernard regularly attended meetings of the Society’s Bradford branch long
after his retirement and continued an active interest in his profession. I particularly
remember him insisting that the branch committee should invite the then Treasurer
of the Society, Geof Booth, to a committee meeting to answer his questions and
so Professor Booth duly attended, to be cross-examined by Bernard for over an
hour.
Bernard died peacefully in his sleep six months before his 100th birthday. He
was mentally alert until the end.
