The family of
Richard Thomas - Pan, Jeremy, Sarah, Nell and Jenny - is grateful to the
community for sharing the memorial to Richard last Saturday. We were left
with the feeling that he would have approved. He would have been very
happy with Scotia Junction — who they are and what they do. He would
have been smiling all over the place at the catering provided by the Berriedale
Babes, but he loved them anyway, even without all that marvellous food.
The speakers would have pleased him, although it is possible he would
have argued with some of the points they made. Thank you to everyone who
came to wish him well. You know he would have wished you well too, if
he could have — if only he could have. Thank you. April 13,

Original Accident Report Jesse Kohl,
Almaguin Forester December 29, 2005
"Modern
living tends to belittle, almost obliterate, the habit our forebearers
had of rallying to each other. We live cocooned in marvels of technology,
isolated in imaginary self sufficiency. This is most true of people in
cities and big towns, but more and more, it afflicts us country folks
too.
We were bred 100,000 years ago to life in small communities. We knew each
other and we knew where we fit. What we had, we made. Now, more and more
of us go day after day, never touching anything we have made or done for
ourselves, things we can take pride in. All we have is things we buy.
The loss is more than pride. It is the quiet, competent, confidence that
what we do matters."
