We attended my uncle's service today and it was great to see family and chat. I loved these sweaters that my cousin's grandsons are wearing. One was my Uncle Roy's sweater and one was my Uncle John's sweater. They were both well known lacrosse players and my cousin, John, who was a photographer for the Province recounted today that he often got the way smoothed for a photo by mentioning their names. Lacrosse used to be very big in Vancouver. Well, it was a sport that didn't need much equipment in those days, not even helmets. My Uncle John was one of the first to wear a helmet because his employer at the time told him if he came in with another beaten up face he would be fired!
