Im Very sorry to hear of Murray's passing. I had the privilege of working with Murray in Special Education. He was admired and respected by all his colleagues and his community. I can't help but think of Elvis when I think of Murray, as I think he had a wee obsession with that entertainer. My thoughts are with Murray's family. Sally Hetzel, Nelson
