I thought of, well, I called him Mr. Cotton, about a month ago. I wanted to find him and thank him for 2 major events in my life as a teenager. The trip to England with an 85 piece High School Band, and also a Canoe trip I went on in Quetico with him and his wife and a group of us young people. Patricia, you were on that trip to England as a baby. Not sure where you were at during the Canoe Trip. Anyway, I did not know how I was going to find him. I live in Ottawa now. Visit Thunder Bay once a year or so. Something interesting. I played Trumpet and fooled around on the drums. Who didn't. He did not want me to fool around on the drums. 20 years after High School I was playing a gig at the Keg as a drummer with one of the best bands in Thunder Bay and Mr. Cotton was there. Kind of neat. He made a difference in peoples lives. I see another High School band member already commented. Sorry for your loss. Saddened to hear. Grant
