A brief obit for Lettuce:

Lettuce (or Des Thomas, in the civilian world) was a retired Bournemouth antique dealer who pitched up at a hash in the village of Akrounta on a motor bike complete with daughter Beccy in tow. At this point he was 72, so this was abt 1992. (Akrounta being the next village to the villa where he lived). I still remember it well - we were using the village football pitch as a run-site.

He enjoyed it, so came back, and kept coming, eventually taking over as Hash Haberdasher for several years. Most runs would see his old Citroen "moke" with t-shirts festooned all over it.

He enjoyed his hashing, and after Interhash in Cyprus, made it to KL, and also to Goa - the last time I saw him. Old age was taking its toll a little, and he was getting deafer and deafer - sometimes tactically so.

He died suddenly in Autumn 2003, and he is still sadly missed.

Cheers and On On
