Thank you for publishing this letter from Jan. He was a truly visionary man b. y character, soft spoken but terribly disciplined as I too was a boy who joined in 1953 and he was our School Captain What our country is people like Jan in every sphere and we would certainly be a better country for it.

His letter could be framed and hung in every classroom for future generations to read and imbibe

Thanking you again

Sincerely
