Re: AL EATON of RICHMOND, ONTARIO

Mr.. Saunders

    Posting a message like this for all to see is ridiculous.  I would think
what Mr. Eaton does on his own is his business. If you did have a problem
with it then you should have talked to him personally. I will tell you one
thing you have just lost at least one membership. I would not join the
ottawa St.. Lawrence group again if the membership was free.
