Ian, Glen and family, I'm saddened to read of the passing of your father, Doug. I remember the early days (70's and 80's) on Winslow Street when your father, Everet O'Brien, Edgar Vautour (my dad) and Frank Quinn would all be drinking their home-brewed coffees and smoking cigarettes discussing current affairs and arguing about politics or whatever urked them at the time. We used to refer to it as the "Old Timers Coffee Corner". They were inseparable and had a great time chatting up a storm, mostly complaining as I recall. Glen, I remember skating in the backyard as a child and you up in the window sketching myself and my friends in charcoal. My thoughts and prayers go out to each of you at this difficult time. Joanne
