Dear Linda, I have developed a habit of reading obituaries and having recognized the last name of Fairtile, I instantly thought of you. So little does one know of another until something happens to enlighten us. Thanks to your name. Through many memories, may they all serve you well for the times to come.
Sincerely, Russell Wilson
Thank you for your kind words, Russell.
Brian was my counselor at French Woods Festival camp in summer 1977. I was just thinking about him, so looked him up online. I’m sorry to hear this sad news, and for his loss to all the family. He was a cool guy, and a positive influence on me as a teen.
