It was with great sadness and a deep sense of shock that we learned of the untimely death of David Drever, the Chair of our Society, on Monday.
David had been Chair of OAS since October 2020 and was very highly thought of by all his colleagues on the Board. He provided calm, steady and supportive leadership and helped the Charity grow significantly over this time.
His enthusiasm for the archaeology, and heritage, of Orkney, and his position as one of the most respected tour guides on the Island, made his leadership of the Society all the more valuable and we are going to miss him immensely.
He will be missed so much by his many friends, and all of us on the OAS Board extend our heartfelt condolences to his wife Ann and their children
