Obituary Hugh Hunter It was with sadness that I learned of the death, in November,  of one of our members Hugh Hunter of Birmingham. He died of a heart attack as a result of a stroke he had suffered in October. In her letter to me, his widow Pauline said that they had been married for fifty-two years and for all of that time Hugh was not just her husband, but also her partner and friend. A friendly and popular man he certainly was. The attendance at his funeral  attests to that. I do know that whenever I spoke to him on the phone (he and Pauline were always having a son or daughter join  our association) he always left me with a smile on my face that  seemed to last for ages and a feeling that I had known him for  years. I would like, on behalf of The Clan Hunter Association, to offer  our condolences to Pauline and her family for the loss of such  a good man, husband and father. Stuart H Hunter   News from Canada At their AGM Members considered a sample design for membership  cards. The idea is to have a different design or colour of card each year. The cards will not only serve as a tangible reminder of membership, but also will be a reminder of when to pay the  annual subscriiption. The Hunter's Halloo (Canadian Association Newsletter) continues  to go from strength to strength. An interesting suggestin was the offer from a member to translate the Newsletter into French for French speaking Hunters. It was agreed to canvass members  to see if this was something that was wanted. The Canadian Web Site has a new look (and a new address it si  clanhunter.webjump.com). The Web Page is paying off, it was reported, with inquiries for genealogy information from both Canada and the US. A copy of the site is now available in French.
