The recommendation for an assistant came from the liaison committee, which stressed the assistant must be able to deal capany with telephone requests when the communications officer was out. communicating He has been a member of council since 1969.

I didn’t know anything about it until they came to see me three or four years later. The husband said, “You’re released, you don’t have to be our son anymore. You didn’t know, but you were. We still listen to you, but we’ve adjusted ourselves to our problem.
