Lynette Hopkin was a consummate professional. She was considerate, kind, modest, a very well-read lady with a great sense of humour and a first class all round musician. I was fortunate to have been selected to serve in the WRAC Staff Band and during that time, I was given so much encouragement, tuition and guidance from Lyn. The visits to her flat in Guildford were always a delight - she was interesting & fun too. Lyn came to Scotland in 2002 to play the clarinet with the AEOLUS Wind & Piano Quintet. What an honour to have her play alongside me and the rest of the group to perform Mozart's Concertante for Wind & Piano. Thankfully, I had a few chances to tell her how grateful I am for her input. She will never be forgotten. RIP Lyn. Marjorie Downward (WRAC Staff Band 1968-74 Oboe)
