1998-Apr Memories of Chris by Geraldine Chapman
This remarkable account
is one of the most significant items on this website. It is a
collection of personal memories written by Geraldine Chapman, Chris Acland's cousin, between 1992 and 1998. It includes
an interview of Chris (more like a private conversation) done by his
cousin in October 1996 just two weeks before Chris took his own
life, and her recollections of the aftermath; the devastation it
caused, letters from her family, and her conversations with Miki |

More family memories can be found
on the Lush Stories page from Chris' cousin
Thomas Acland and his
sister-in-law Ruth Acland.
