Tears from Ipperwash hearing the news of your loss of such a fine man, husband, father and grandfather. As children "at the beach" for the summer, our families along with a handful of the original neighbourhood families, spent endless hours at the beach together day after day. The mothers would have afternoon tea or coffee, ( Dads would be home working) and the kids would be gone off in the bush, building forts, or collecting fossils, playing cards and games. Dreamy days. I particularly remember Kim
trying to teach me to play chess - the board was set up on a tree stump but my childhood mind was not nearly as sharp as his.
Kim's soul was rooted to the earth as a child, no wonder he grew up to become a fine educator and person.
