What kind of a man was my Father? Well, in all the time that I can remember him, I never heard a single soul say anything but good abut him. This goes for Liberals, Conservatives, Catholics, Protestants, colored people and Micmacs (Natives).
He was Baptist as were his family. He was educated at Acadia College, (one of the eldest in Canada). Passed in Law at Harvard and gave everything he had to his country. He never smoked, rank or swore, and I can truthfully say that I have never seen a more tolerant man.
Right here there should be put in the record a letter dated March 27/30, which was sent to me from Iru W. Harwick of Brooklyn, New York. This Gentleman knew my father in the seventies before he was married and gives me one good idea of what people thought of him as a man.
I can remember him saying to me, "There will be times in your life when the truth will not serve nor is it desirable in order for a peaceful, existance. But remember, a lie is nothing and you cannot make something out of nothing. Seek the truth in all times, but hurt nobody if this is possible.
