Editor:

I want to acknowledge Bill Smith for the work he has been doing at the Fraser Cemetery.

Smith has been out daily for the last month and a half cleaning the headstones of the veterans buried in the cemetery. He has done this of his own accord and has done a remarkable job.

While the rest of us are inside watching too much TV, he has been out in the fresh air getting some exercise and doing the community a great service.

The groundskeepers at the cemetery appreciate his work and so does this graveyard rambler. He is my person of the year. Thank you, Mr. Smith.

J. Irving, New Westminster
