Sorry to hear of the loss of your husband, father and grandfather. Mr Mackenzie had a way of teaching that made things easy to understand. I was in a few of his classes back in the early 80´s. Over the past 40 years I have mentioned to others that Mr Mackenzie was the best teacher I ever had . My condolences.
