I have very fond memories of Chemistry classes that Mr. Unwin taught me in 1968 and 1969 at Point Grey High School. Whenever I am teaching Chemistry to my grade 9 students at Fleetwood Park in Surrey, I think back to those pleasant times. I would like to extend my condolences to Mr. Unwin's family and all that knew him. With Deepest Sympathy,
