BOOK REVIEW - A LIFE WELL LIVED - ESSAYS IN MEMORY OF DAVID BREWSTER


The book has nine chapters and covers aspects of David’s life and about topics which interested him. Local history, sport in Limavady, the city of Londonderry, memories of David, politics in the 1880s, local church history and Irish Presbyterianism. It’s a wonderful tribute.

A book has been published in David’s memory and to raise funds of chest, heart and stroke research.

I got to know David roughly 40 years ago when he was involved at Queens University in the Ulster Unionist Student Organisation which produced a lot of great literature for distribution on the mainland.

David was a great friend and pupil of the late Edgar Graham and it was Edgar's memory which I think cemented his political activism. He would serve as Honorary Secretary of the Ulster Unionist Party for a while before joining the DUP.

As his political profile grew I remember talking to him and urging him to be careful with his personal security as it was certain the Provos would be keeping and eye on him. He simply said, "A lot of good people have had to make that decision, and I've made mine."

Behind an almost courtly reserve there was great fun in Davie and he had a wicked sense of humour. This book will help to keep his memory alive.
