What a great person he was. He will be missed. I can still imagine him, leaning in to listen to my questions, always attentive. To me he was the example of a loving husband and father. Fascinating what some human beings can leave as they pass along this planet.One thing that comes to mind is that he was very impressed with the canadian invention of the robertson screws. He told me he had to import some to do his house's clapboard. To this day, I still agree with him, these are the best.Marcel CareySherbrooke, QC> Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2008 09:09:50 -0500> To: pianotech at ptg.org> From: stanwood at tiac.net> Subject: Re: [pianotech] Dr Sanderson> > My hat is off to Al with profound respect.> > His passing brings back the memory of a story that Bill Garlick told > our class at North Bennet St. School in 1977.
