It broke our hearts when we learned that Mal had passed. He was a true gentleman, with such a sense of humor. We happened into Twigs during a trip to Highlands a good many years ago, and we just loved catching up with Mal. We hadn't seen him since 1971, but it was just like old times. Mal, and his wonderful smile, are going to be missed by so many people. Our most sincere sympathies go out to his family. Our love, Bill and Anne Lummus
