There’s Been an Abundance of Good Neighbors
Roger G. Fox of Orangeville recalls a life of farming service and public spirit in an interview for the MacGregor Herald.

He served in coastal patrols, marine engineering, and minesweeping, recalling a stormy voyage and a last voyage of the second engineer Jock McVicar of Portage la Prairie.
