As received from Clan Cameron - Ontario Branch. I had the pleasure of meeting Lochiel in August, 2000. The meeting was most memorable. Lochiel was a wonderful man. Regards, Scott -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is with deep sorrow that I must tell you the Chief of Clan Cameron, Donald Hamish Cameron of Lochiel has died. This man, Chief among Chiefs, will be remembered as one of Scotland's greatest Chiefs. He will be missed, honored and credited with bringing our Clan to its present stature as one of the most highly respected within the Scottish family of Clans. While he died on Wednesday, the family asked me to delay announcement until they were ready to make it public. Donald Andrew informed me that we could make the announcement of his death public now. Donald Angus and Donald Andrew, along with other members of the family, have hastened to Achnacarry to be with Lady Cameron who is, understandably, emotionally distraught. Please send your condolences either by mail or email as soon as you can. The funeral is to be held on Friday, June 4, 2004 at the St. Andrew's Church in Ft. William. Official announcement of his death will also appear on the Clan Cameron Website www.clan-cameron.org Respectfully, Donald Cameron Commissioner --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
