It was my pleasure to be Mr. Parker's secretary at RHM in the 80's. After a somewhat hesitant start (he didn't respond to my morning greetings for a couple of weeks, preferring to see first how I worked out - sink or swim, he said), we worked well together and became friends. After I moved to Hamilton, we kept in touch and I would bring my husband and children in for an annual visit. I enjoyed Doug's Christmas letters filled with the stories of his travels that year along with colourful commentary on the current political situation. He was definitely one of the good ones.
