I was so surprised and saddened when I searched the internet for Rob Palfreyman's address to find that he had passed. I have such fond memories of Rob and his family when he was on exchange to the Canada. What a lovely and energetic family it was. I do recall the family visiting our cottage near Ottawa and Hamish swimming a long distance across the lake to an island. I also have a memory of Carolin being so afraid of driving in winter fearful of "black ice" and of course Rob who always was a great ambassador for his country, and the fact that he was never interested in betting on anything unless it involved a "jackpot." RIP Rob
