A death

Dorothy Warner Lawson passed away peacefully at home on Bowen Island
in British Columbia on 30 August 2015.  Born in the 1920s in
Nebraska, she taught art history at San Francisco University.  She
became a mature age student in the first class of the art
conservation training program at Cooperstown N.Y., which later moved
to SUNY Buffalo.  She completed her internship in paper conservation
at the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University in 1973 and was
appointed paper conservator at the Maine State Museum.  She married
Cooperstown classmate and objects conservator Eric Lawson and
relocated to Canada and in 1979 moved to Bowen Island where she and
Eric established Lawson Conservation Services.  Dorothy and Eric had
many interests including literature and history and co-authored a
book on the history of Bowen Island.  They travelled extensively and
had friends around the world and very full lives.  Eric passed away
last year. Both will be missed by conservation colleagues as well as
the Bowen Island community.
