I was a university classmate of Andy and had only seen him once since 1959 when I graduated. It was about ten or twelve years ago in Regina. We had a very nice chat about mutual acquaintances. I remember Andy as a very nice guy, unassuming and supportive. My sincere sympathies to you all. God Bless. Slater Tubman, Wolseley ~ Slater Tubman
