Laura Flintlock

By Bamika Easterman: I first met Laura when she helped me clean a chimney using one of her patented punt gun chimney cleaning firearms. Bricks and pieces of the chimney were found as far away as Victoria City. Needless to say my mother forbade me to touch guns of any description again after this distressing incident. 
I did not know Laura for very long, but she left a lasting impression on me. She introduced me to the Women of the World group and some of the world of SL outside Caledon. I was one of the chief mourners - certainly the loudest - at her public suicide and funeral service in Caledon-On-Sea. 
Laura was the creator of the Nessie rubber ring, a popular children's seaside toy. As well has her skill as a gunmaker she is probably best remembered as one of Caledon's most visible and vocal lesbians.
Laura "took her own life" and left SL on 10 July 2008.
