On, Tuesday
November 21st, 2006 this reporter received a phone call from Dr.
Kathleen Cansler informing me of her husband’s death. It was not
only a shocking realization that my dear friend was no longer going
to be around but that many people who relied on his advice and
photos would be at a loss. |
