Mike and I pose in his backyard, in the background to the right is "Veterans Memorial Field" named in 2006, He refused to have the soccer field/tennis courts named after him, there is a high school behind the field which he also refused have named in his honour years earlier. 

In closing it has been very gratifying to know Mr. Mike Laffin, I had the opportunity to visit him in June 2004 in New Waterford. He is a man with many stories that intrigued me for a week and unfortunately my visit ended all too soon. I have followed up with phone calls and letters and he is always willing to share his memories from the past and thoughts on current affairs.
