SIR MARTIN WEDGWOOD PASSES AWAY

Sir Martin Wedgwood was an Honorary Board Member of the Wedgwood International Seminar, a valued member of the Wedgwood family still active in all things "Wedgwood" and a wonderful Englishman. He and Lady Sandra's home in Surrey is a beautiful place indeed, characteristically British with gardens, lovely antiques and stunning Wedgwood of course. Being in their home [in 2003 not 2005 as typed on the document] was an American girl's fantasy come true. Sir Martin has passed away as you can read in this note to the WIS President from Sir Martin's brother Julian:

Wednesday afternoon - 13th October 2010. A dull grey day over London.

Dear Lovely people;
Yesterday very early in the new day [10/12/10] (0110hrs) my brother Martin died as a direct result of prostate cancer discovered a year ago. He was taken into the East Surrey Hospital last Wednesday when a very large cist/growth was discovered beneath his lung. The cancer had progressed at great speed to his lungs. He died very peacefully in his sleep. Please contact those who would like to know. Many thanks to all. Julian.
