While I enjoyed the article about Tom Neal (Thomas Neal: A Son Remembers, Jul 30/15) and knew and respected Tom for many years (7 as an employee of Frontenac County) I feel I must correct a couple of things in the article. The article states that Tom served on County Council for 34 years from 1967 until 1998. This is only 32 years. Also in 1989, 1990 and 1991 William Van Kempen was reeve of Barrie Township.
When he retired in 1991 my father, Tim O'Shea, had served on County Council as reeve of Wolfe Island for 33 consecutive years from 1959 to 1991, serving as Warden in Canada's Centennial Year 1967. As I said I have tremendous respect for Tom Neal's Council legacy, however Tim O'Shea was the dean of County Council .
