Not sure what to say?

To Mr Finlay, I first met you in 1972 when you gave me a one-on-one tour of the whole printing and graphic arts campus at the old timber buildings in Kingston. We had too much respect for you to call you by your first name. You were a master teacher who had a great passion and sense of history of the printing craft. You touched the lives of many, many apprentices, and i was fortunate enough to be one of them. With the fondest of memories. Rest in Peace. Eric
