Mr. Morrison,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your years of dedicated service and sacrifice-first for our Country when you served in the USN during WW II and secondly for the citizens of Cambridge when you served with the CPD. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
