Friends around here started texting me to ask if Matthew was a relative. I replied, "With a name like that, there is very little doubt." To be truthful, I met Matthew only once, at his Dad's funeral. He seemed friendly and nice. Addison and Dot used to bring the whole family down to our farm once in a while, usually on a Sunday. That was a big trip (Regina to Froude) in the 60s! Twenty years or so ago, I reconnected with Addison and Yvonne. I always called them when we curled in Regina. We became very good friends. I remember Bill the most, but I remember Sharon and Debbie also. About 6 years ago, I met a keyboard player in a couple of bands that I enjoyed listening to. I wish I had told him my name back then because I recently found out that he is married to Jeannie! I hope this world lets us get together again soon. In the meantime, our sympathy goes out to Matthew's family.
