Frank Hewitt R.I.P.

We have to report that, sadly, Dr Frank Hewitt, a member of the Wrexham Circle, has died, in his early 90s. He will be remembered by all those who participated in the Student and Easter Cross pilgrimages to Walsingham from the 1940s to the 1970s. In fact he was one of the last surviving participants in the original Student Cross in 1948. Ray Boneham, a former leader of Easter Cross many times during the 1960s and 1970s, remembers that Frank Hewitt's role in 1948 was as a cyclist towing a trailer carrying all the walkers' belongings. These Herculean efforts had the unfortunate effect of leading to joint problems all his life.

Ray wishes Frank's "extraordinary" contribution over the years to Student and Easter Cross to be celebrated. Winifred Flanagan, President of the Association, adds that Frank and his family were "much loved by those of us who used to go to Easter Cross at Walsingham".
