Our beloved Dr. Horrocks has passed away.  There are many APLA members who are past and present members of the Halifax Library Association.  They will know that Dr. Horrocks was a proud member and supporter of the HLA.  Those in attendance at our last annual general meeting in May will remember him greeting old friends and making sure to meet and welcome each new member.  Of course, he was also there for business and to pay close attention to the agenda.  Always willing to offer advice, he quietly guided many a meeting with his extraordinary parliamentarian skills.  Knowledgeable and witty, a mentor and friend, he gave of his time unconditionally.  Norman was a remarkable person and a true gentleman.  He will be greatly missed by us all.
