FROM THE SAME PAPER --- (NELSON'S NOTEBOOK)

I lost a good friend when Bert Cattanach died this week. In alot of ways Bert was like a father to me and I'll always be grateful for what he did for me. I and a great many others are going to miss him. It just wont be the same without him. I would like to express my sympathy and wishes for God's blessings to Cappy and the rest of Bert's family.
