My condolences to Joanne and her family on the sad loss of her uncle, who I knew as Mr. Deveau. In the midst of the distractions of the 1970s, at the consolidated school in Port Maitland, he did his very best to help children like me to appreciate the benefits of a simpler way. It must have been very frustrating work, as he once threatened to break my arm off at the elbow so that he could hit me over the head with it. Won't need to have my arm twisted now to say he was a fine man with a wonderful sense of harmony and good humour. Today, I'll be proudly singing O Canada and maybe a verse or two of The Streets of Loredo, too, thanks to his efforts.
