Thank you, DR JANE.
It was quite a shock. Brian's father was a farmer his entire life. He raised Angus cattle and was the head of an organization that promoted the breed. He also worked as a meat cutter for several local supermarkets.
Last Sunday, he overturned his tractor while doing routine farm work at his farm. It was very sad.
I remember once many years....or decades ago....that Brian was late for a rehearsal and he said it was because he had to "pull a calf" and I said "you mean, out of the mud".....and then he informed me what that meant......
Only in the hinterlands would "pulling a calf" be a legitimate reason for being late to a rehearsal.
