Here I am at the library downtown and finished my appointment with my insurance lawyer-things are being lined up and no more to say about that. It has been a beautiful summer like day and the golden leaves on the trees add to the texture and colour and whimsey of downtown Winnipeg. I thought there might be some teachers down from the north for a teacher's conference but perhaps I got the dates wrong as it was only a rumour I heard. I was very sorry to hear of my former boss's death-Nelson McKay -such a gentleman who always spoke with kindness and courtesy and teated all so well. He was my Director of Educatio and my vice-principal at Gardn Hill, Mb. and he hired me more than once. The last time we spoke was in front of the sheraton Hotel about a year ago. I always appreciated his friendly smile and warmth and the coolness he had-if he ever got upset it was not revealed to us. Save a spot for me Nelson.
