COMMENTS:
From Clive Phillips, November 23, 2006 (note address) -
Dear Jacob,
It was with much regret that I read your email concerning the passing of Mr Nevin Myer. When I visited the Kinzers site in the week before the Reunion in 2003 Nevin was the first person I had contact with. Nevin welcomed me and made me feel quite at home. He gave me a conducted tour of the facility, and over a cup of coffee detailed the history of R&T.
I ran into him many times during the week of the reunion and he was always keen to ensure that I was comfortable in the accommodation he had kindly arranged, and ensured that I got involved in all the happenings surrounding the Reunion.
I am sure that he will be missed by all, and please pass on my condolences to his family, and to the R&T family.
Kind regards
