Just a note to say that you are in our thoughts with the loss of Maurice. We often remember the great times we had in Haliburton and the special visits with you and Maurice, which made our long drives worthwhile, especially the common roots we have back in Glasgow. I remember the fun we had making ourselves dizzy with the spin reels as in the one we devised for you and Maurice. It is good to remember the good times of life and we are grateful for the good times we spent with you both. Love, Duncan and Maggie. "M AND M's FANCY" Featured Formations: Spin 1/2 Reels of 4, Loop Progression 3x32 bar Strathspey, 3-couple dance in 3-couple longways set BARS 1-8 SET, 1/2 CIRCLE, SET & 1/2 CHASE: 1st, 2nd and 3rd couples set nearer hands joined on the side (2 bars), circle to the left (2 bars), set in the circle (2 bars), and chase clockwise to places with 2nd couple ending facing 1st corners; 9-24 SPIN 1/2 REELS OF 4 WITH CORNERS: 2nd couple dance 1/2 reels of 4 with 1st corners, then with 2nd corners, repeat with 1st corner and finish with 2nd corners (as in Mairi's Wedding except that 2nd couple spin* individually around to their left on the spot as they pass each other by the left shoulder in the centre of the reel); 25-32 LOOP PROGRESSION: 2nd couple followed by 1st couple dance down between 3rd couple, divide, and cast up along the side to top place (4 bars); then 1st couple followed by 3rd couple dance up between 2nd couple, divide, and cast down along the side, 1st couple ending in 3rd place.

Margaret, your friends in the Haliburton Scottish Country Dancers are thinking of you and all the fun times we had, the strathspeys, jigs and reels at the school and the Stanhope Centre in years past. Jim Milne

We feel privileged to have known Maurice, he was one of the most knowledgeable doctors and an inspirational man. The last of the fishing group and one of my Father's closest friends. To Margaret, Alasdair, Graeme, Rod and family, our sincerest condolences. Maurice will be remembered with great fondness. Much love: Jane, Kyle, and Emily Dickie xoxoxo

I knew Maurice as a friend and also as my family doctor;a consummate gentleman who had compassion for patients,friends and family. Little did I know back in the early nineteen sixties when I knew of Dr. Smith as a resident in Professor Illingworth's unit at The Western Infirmary in Glasgow,would I, through my marriage to my late husband, become close friends. You have to know that Professor Illingworth was known to select as his residents 'the crème de la crème' only. Those of us who had the privilege of knowing Maurice in friendship will I'm sure agree with me, that he was indeed 'the crème de la crème'. Violet Dickie. One unanswered question over the years was;Why did his boys choose fall out of trees and break bones and such things when Maurice was on his annual wilderness fishing trips?.

We have great memories of Maurice as our family doctor for the 10 years we were in Toronto and at Parkwoods United Church where he, Margaret and the boys were regular attenders. Sincerely, Catherine and John Ambrose
