摘要

On 20 july 2012 the cahs lost one of its most revered members - fred w. hotson. a few days earlier Fred had been busy working on his latest book. Born in Toronto on December 29, 1913, Fred spent his boyhood in Fergus, a historic town along the Grand River, not far from Guelph. The Hotsons were frugal, hard-working people, so young Fred acquired a solid work ethic that would serve him well for almost a century. As a lad, he always had several money-making schemes on the go, whether working for local merchants, doing odd jobs for neighbours, even reporting on local sports for the Guelph Mercury.
