June Pallot: from architect to accountant Available to Purchase

June Pallot was a very warm, kind person with an infectious, bubbly laugh. We last spoke on 5th October 2004, one month before she passed away. I still remember her warm, friendly voice from that last conversation. Behind this warm persona, there was a first class mind, an outstanding intellect. We met the way many academics do – I was an anonymous reviewer of her work and I was impressed by its quality and the thoughtfulness of her responses to the issues raised. Subsequently, we met when June Pallot was on a visit to Scotland with her husband, Graeme Craigie, a New Zealander of Scottish descent. June Pallot visited me at Stirling, where I was then professor of accounting. We had a very detailed discussion of governmental accounting, in which her depth of knowledge was impressive. We became so engrossed in this discussion that June almost forgot that Graeme was waiting patiently for her in the car park.
