From Vern Veinot - Bill Yorga and Bill Koch

I just came back from a visit to Alberta and BC and visited a couple of people that many SRS types know very well, Bill Yorga and Bill Koch.
We visited Bill Yorga and his wife Olga in Kelowna. Olga is healthy, but Bill is confined to a wheelchair since his accident eleven years ago. His neck, elbows and shoulders are mobile, he has limited use of his right hand, and some strength in his left. He is able with effort and special utensils to feed himself. His mind is fine, and we talked about old times, and old friends. He asked that we say "Hello" to everyone that knew him.
We also visited Bill Koch in Victoria. Bill is an ex-Naval Storesman who served two tours in Aklavik. He is well, but his wife Ann passed away a few years ago. He asked that we say "Hello" to everyone that knew him.
