Abstract
Herbert Leader Hawkins died in Reading on 29 December 1968, having lived and worked there all his life. Spatially, he travelled little prior to visiting the West Indies in his retirement. Intellectually, he was a noted voyageur. Adventurous of mind, kindly, young in heart, vividly imaginative and telling a superb tale, he radiated a genuinely joyful dedication to geology. Outwardly, this inner liveliness beamed through a merry twinkle of eye and ready humour—robust or ribald, sensitive or elegant according to the occasion, which he seldom mistimed or misjudged. A consummate actor on life’s stage, he was for ever transmitting a message or moral. Its essence was, I think, that the materials of scientific enquiry should be loved as well as enjoyed, that feed-back from scientific endeavour to the individual and community mattered pre-eminently; that somewhere behind it all there was a meaning. With him, generations learned to question, as well as respect, things held sacred.
