vale Father McKelson

[Margaret Florey]

Dear RNLDers,

It is with great sadness that we report the loss of Father Kevin McKelson,
who passed away in Melbourne last week <
http://www.abc.net.au/local/audio/2011/11/29/3379398.htm>.

Many of you will have met and will fondly remember Father McKelson, who
lived and worked for so many years in the Kimberley region of WA. Father
Mac was passionate about Aboriginal languages and cultures, and he was a
dedicated language documenter. A moving tribute to Father Mac was screened
on the 7.30 Report in 2010 <
http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/content/2010/s2856437.htm>.

Our thoughts are with his family and all those people around Australia who
were fortunate enough to have been close to Father Mac.

kind regards,
Margaret
