Bette, It was with great sadness I read yesterday about Craig's untimely passing. You probably won't remember Lynn or I but we lived across from you on Woodbury in the 70s. Craig was two years behind me at Queen's and we became fast friends and it continued until I left Winnipeg in 1978. Seeing his name brought back so many memories of funny, senseless arguments with Craig, Mike Greene, the Stovells and many other smart alecks---usually over a pint or two and usually in some dank, disreputable place like the Empire or Aberdeen Hotel. So many great memories of such a great guy. God Bless. Bryan Newton - Posted by: Bryan Newton (Friend) on: Jun 11, 2009
