Gillian Whittaker, TradeWinds’ correspondent in Greece for almost a quarter of a century, passed away in Athens on 11 June.

She died aged 72 following a long illness, which she fought bravely, and was in good spirits until the end.

Gill, as most people knew her, was hired on the spot during Posidonia 1992 by TradeWinds' founding editor, Trond Lillestolen.
