Julie Boston

It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of one of FOSPL’s founder members, Julie Boston. Julie left us on 28 October 2022.

How to describe Julie’s energy and vision? Her community spirit glowed – Julie did not want to live in a world where individualism and selfishness prevail. For her, it made absolute sense to share and improve our society for everyone. As well as our group, Julie campaigned tirelessly for public railways and public toilets. She was someone who had a wicked sense of humour, could see the irony in most things, and pledged her life to the common good. A great strategist, borne out of her decades of active campaigning, she was a taker of direct action. Julie was very keen to acquire better quality chairs for St Paul’s Library. For whatever reasons, those chairs never materialized. But we hope that she iscomfortably seated now, resting on her considerable laurels. The toilet campaign postcards will stillbe within reach and she is probably sporting her various railway campaigns badges as well as a jaunty hat. Thank you, Julie, for your generosity of spirit and your vitality. May you rest in peace.
