Subject: We have lost a

I feel so proud to have
met this wonderful man - even though it was only one time ... he
left a lifetime impression on me and has inspired me all these
years since. What, and Who he is - will remain with us
forever

Peter Klaus Lust, 1911
-2005
He was born January 15,
1911 in Nurnberg, Germany. His heritage home is still there. He
made Canada his home since 1946. He was an accomplished writer, as
well as humanitarian. He dedicated much of his life to exposing
inhumanity - particularly to helpless animals. His book, "The Last
Seal Pup" {Harvest House, 1967) won wide acclaim and was a first of
its kind, exposing the cruel practices employed in the baby seal
hunt in Canada. The book, in addition to winning him the Quebec
Literary Prize, caused a change in how the seal hunt was carried
out.
He had a
razar-sharp wit, and unique sense of humour.
He died on October 28,
2005, at the age of 94 after a very long and courageous battle with
alzheimers. He is survived by his three children and six
grandchildren.
