Comment on Ruth's story

Comment: I was priviliged to know Mr Cameron. he was a friend of my Father, indeed of all our family. I still recall the anguish in my mothers voice when she told me of his death. He was one of the finest men I ever met, he gave of himself to everyone and instilled in me a love of photography. If any of his family read this comment I would be delighted to hear from them and tell them about the memories I have of a lovely man.

Comment: I wept when i listened to this story as it so reminded me of my own dad who passed away 10 years ago. Infact, I saved it onto my favorites to share with others. I'm an sentimental old fool at 42 but i loved it and wouldn't have missed hearing it.
