Derek was a founding member of the Guild, the first Master from 1954 -1956, and President 1990-1993. Derek's support and dedication to the Guild extended far beyond these roles and spanned its many decades. Today, the Guild is thriving, and this November is the 70th Anniversary of its formation. This is a testament to the great legacy Derek and the founding members have built.

Thank you Derek, rest in peace.
