Default Delete Duplicate Rows, by Date field

Hello,

I need some help.
I have a huge spreadsheet containing several columns.
Column A = Names (maybe 2000 unique names out of 6000 rows)
Column B = Meeting or Phone Call
Column C = Date (column B was completed)

So, I have multiple entries for each name. I need to keep only the row with
the latest "Meeting" date and the latest "Phone Call" date. How would I do
this?

Example:
L1 WorkerA Meeting 01/04/2006
L2 WorkerA Meeting 06/23/2007
L3 WorkerB Meeting 05/26/2007
L4 WorkerA Phone 02/04/2006
L5 WorkerA Phone 06/23/2007
L6 WorkerC Phone 07/07/2007
L7 WorkerB Meeting 12/31/2007
L8 WorkerC Meeting 02/02/2008

Report needs to delete lines 1, 3, 4
Do you see the pattern?
Actually, in the end, I only need the most recent "month" not "date" for the
last column.

I hope you can understand what I'm asking and can help me.
Thank you.
