Gerald Fisher was the senior have of the Fisher % Father business out on 417. He was involved in various community stuff, including the Historical Society. Nice guy. He self-published this little book of verse and observations; I have a copy around the house somewhere. He died a few years back (do not ask me exactly how many "few" would be...)
