Life Members

The Friends of Gulf St Vincent had six life members until the sad loss in 2021 of Pat Harbison, environmental chemist and founding President. Now the five life members are: Ian Kirkegaard, founding Secretary; Jim Douglas, activist and tireless champion of our Gulf and the community; Andrew Winkler, inducted in 2016; Dr Mike Bossley and Angela Gackle both inducted in 2020. All of these outstanding individuals have provided exceptional service to the committee over the years.
