Obituary - Kenneth Sutton-Jones

摘要

News has been received of the death of Kenneth Charles Sutton-Jones, Honorary Personal Member of IALA He was appointed an Honorary Personal Member of IALA in 1985 and this appointment was unique in that he had not, at some time in his career, worked for a lighthouse authority for he had spent all his working life in the aids to navigation industry. This appointment recognised the growing importance to IALA of its Industrial Members and it should be remembered that, with IALA being established in 1957 his then company, Stone-Chance, was elected as an Industrial Member, the very first in IALA, within only eight years and this was confirmed at the Conference in Rome in 1965.%Nous avons appris le décès à l'age de 92 ans de Kenneth Charles Sutton-Jones, membre honoraire de l'AISM.
