The last of the Tetley Tea Club

Neil Duncan died this weekend, in Whitehorse. He was the last of a trio of friends who met regularly - in Hector Lang's kitchen - for a pot of tea and good conversation.

Neil (the middle man in the photo) was a farm boy from Saskatchewan, a soldier, a logger, a miner and a mechanic.

Hector Lang (on the left), was a sailor, a carpenter, and a bridge builder.

Gordon McIntyre (on the right), was a sailor, a heavy equipment operator and a miner.

Hector died in 2001; Gordon in 2003; and now, Neil, in 2006.

They were mighty men, here in the Yukon Territory.
