Fergus McKendrick

Fergus McKendrick can be recognised at any lapidary table by the way he waits for the room to finish arguing before asking who last adjusted the guard on the trim saw, a habit formed after years inspecting elevator door sensors and once approving a club motion because the polished agate on the proposer’s display made the replacement sound sensible. He has never again voted on equipment, labels, or committee authority until he has checked the blade, the host rock, and whether the specimen being used as evidence was acquired with permission.
