Hi Dawn! Alan said that he was Adopted by the Sutherlands - he said he was in the Korean War - he said he served in the Marines. He was with a Woman in Whitehorse. He often Wrote Letters to the Editors of the Newspapers. He died in Whitehorse at the time you said. We were Sutherlands first - then he changed his name to Derrick after working in Alberta in the Oil Fields. He was a Sheet Metal Worker and taught my Brothers his trade. I am sure this is the same Man. My Mother met him in AA in Halifax in about 1970. He was with us until I was 8 in 1974.
