At this time of year, mid October, I always start to think about my great-uncle Fred who served in the Canadian Expeditionary Force during WWI.

Yesterday, I sent out an email (my first in a long time) in which I included some photographs of the real Fred and our family.

In thinking of the how and why I came to write Fred’s Funeral I had the impulse to share those thoughts with my readership. If you’d like to join the list, please do. I love the back and forth that always results when I send an email.

Looking forward to our correspondence.
