Fred Left us this week. Well Fred - Your last years in the end were not the easiest for you to bear. And you never really complained. You stayed in touch with Jimmy Williams and with me collaberated sometimes on some writing projects.

Despite the distance from us you were a dear and wonderful friend.

In Highschool and afterwards be it in your music, humour, thought provoking articles on CBC, jamming (Season of the Witch at the Carnival by the arena or out at Bill Howes in Gaspe) simply 'hanging out', -your soul shone.

Fred Sailor you were one of the most philisophically cool people I had ever met.
I know a bit of you will always be with us. You gifted us with your presence.
Fly on Godfrey.
We'll miss you.

Black and White and shades of gray.
Barry Jones, Steve Poirier, Scott Johnson.



(I'm afraid I cannot remember the name of the person sitting beside Scott Johnson.)
This is extracted from a class picture from grade 8 if I am not mistaken.
Photography is fascinating. It captures a moment and beyond that, it chrystalizes certain character traits and moods.
