Monday 3rd December saw the Friends of the William Morris Gallery give their cherished curator Peter Cormack a send off that he well and truly deserved. An excellent turn out at the Gallery, emotive speeches, gifts, a cake, a fabulous spread and a party that continued late into the night. It was a tragic occasion, but one full of warmth and laughter. Peter surely knew how much the last 30 years of his devoted service to the Gallery, its collection and the people of Waltham Forest, had meant to us all. On the night he was heralded, in tributes that flowed in from around the world, as: ‘An unequalled custodian of this storehouse of Art and ideas’Three days later he left Water House for the last time. Good luck Peter, in whatever you do – we shall miss you.
