Alan Reed
Sir, — May I add to your obituary notice of Alan Arthur Gilmour Reed, who died on April 11, my tribute as director of the Canterbury Museum. If the presc t standing of the museum owes much to the transfer to trust board control in 1948, Alan Reed might be remembered as the chief architect of the Trust Board Act. As a member of the Canterbury College Museum Committee of the time he accompanied Dr R. A. Falla and the late Mr A. E. Flower on deputations to every local body between the Conway and the Rangitata seeking their help, throug’ a small levy on rates, to provide income for the development of the museum. As a solicitor Mr Reed played the main part in formulating all details of the act, the first of its kind in New Zealand and a model for the maintenance of provincial muse’:-is. — Yours, ROGER DUFF, Director. Ca .terburv Tfaseum. April 15, 1976.
