   My father who died a few years back at 91 greatly admired Doug Fisher and taught me to do the same.
   I read all his columns faithfully, especially the ones in the legion.
   Ironically, just after my father died Mr Fisher moved into Walden Village and I took the opportunity to tell him how much my father admired him.
   He nodded brusquely but had the same feral look in his eyes that my father had when he and my mother first moved into a retirement home. (it seemed clear to me he was not happy being there) I tried to contact Matthew Fisher (with whom I had had a sporadic email exchange when he wrote for the Sun chain I think)to let him know if his father needed anything to let me know as I live two blocks away but could not find MF’s current email address.
   In any event, it seems Mr Fisher moved out of Walden Village soon thereafter.
   I realize he has lots of kids (five I believe) but if he is still in the Kanata neighbourhood, and needs a hand with anything, I’d be glad to help.
   Happy birthday and may he enjoy many more more in good health
