| description | When Summerside's D. R. Morrison
died in 1930, local newspapers
lauded his achievements and
lamented his passing. In the manner of
obituaries, they extolled his virtues
with expressions of esteem such as
"honored citizen", "good neighbour",
"congenial friend", and "prominent
contractor". Morrison would truly have
been flattered, for he was a proud man.
And yet, the eulogy he would perhaps
have preferred above all was the one
that said simply, "a genial man of progressive
ideas". |  |
