Barbara, I decided to search Fred's name today, I'm not even sure why other than for memories. Barb

I'm not sure if you remember me but my name is Chris Cannon and I was Fred's Computer Integration Specialist for his design of the Chimo Watchdog Model 700 for Petroleum Geologists. He even guided me on authoring the manual. I need you to know that Fred was a very large piece of my growth and direction in life. He took me under his wings and I believe with great care and in an effort to push me to be all I could be. I truly loved Fred and though a great deal of him and his way of being a surrogate father to me. I will never forget him and what he taught me along with the support that came with dealing with the corporate dogs we had to deal with daily. I was quite stirred to see that he has now passed. You were a very nice lady when we met and I may be wrong but if I remember correctly you were a nurse. Sorry if I am mistaken but one thing I know I am not wrong about is how strong of a lady you are to be married to such a mover and shaker that everyone knew or jealous of the moment Fred walked into a room. I'm sure many were shocked that such a pretty and petite lady could tame such a man and definitely run for cover if he stepped out of line but not for the rest of the world but for you. Please accept my condolences and I hope Brett I believe is your son has enjoyed a successful and long golf career. Fred was my mentor, I will never forget him. He was a great man and I do owe him for some of the character I posses today. I only wish I could have known when he assented in order to tell him how I felt of the years we spent working together. Best Wishes, Chris Cannon
