McIlroy--Publisher's Newsletter Pays Tribute to Printer

I've known Friesens for 20 years. In my former life, I was a book publisher in Toronto, Canada, and Friesens was one of the companies I used to print my books.

I knew the company as a good, professional supplier, but I didn't know the organization well. I dealt with Bob Hamilton, the (recently retired) Toronto branch manager, while the head office and plant was about 1,000 miles away in Altona. Eventually, I met David Friesen, the second-generation head of the company, but only briefly.
