Hi Gary,
Thank you for posting on knoop.org! I believe we’ve exchanged a couple of emails in the past, but it’s nice to hear from another Knoop from Ontario. Over the years, I often looked in the telephone directory to find very few, at least in southern Ontario.
I’d also love to get my hands on a copy of that book – do you think that’s possible?
Regards,
