Karen, Kit, Sarah and family:
I was saddened to read of Lincoln’s passing. In my years working with Linc at the Fisheries School in Pictou, I learned how kind and compassionate a person he was. He always made time to chat with the old fishermen when they came in to spin a yarn. Even when that meant setting aside an important piece of writing or research for 10 or 15 minutes to be present to them and their fish tails. He was also very kind to my sons. When they stopped in to my work, he would always take a minute to come into my office and acknowledge the boys. Those things mattered greatly. Linc was very supportive when I decided to leave my job and go back to university. He encouraged me to find my career path, and to pursue further education. He was a good man. My heartfelt condolences to you all.
