I'm very sorry to read of your father's passing. I had been asking around about him, because his emails had stopped in the past year or more. My mom ( I always passed them on to her) always considered his letters a real treat . I know that my dad enjoyed his time working with yours a "good time" and as a young girl I recall spending time at your house in Morden (always a special treat when the plums in the back yard were ripe!) I am sure you will miss him terribly. My condolences, Barb Reimer ( and Tina, too) - Posted by: Barb Reimer (Friend) on: Sep 10, 2006
