LETTER TO OPEN FORUM
To the Editor:
Our friend, Dr. Norman Erdmann, how we who knew him so well will miss him because
to know him was to love him. Always kind, considerate, consciousness, dedicated,
he loved people and loved to be of service to mankind. Manitowoc has lost one of
its finest citizens and surely our city is a far better place in which to live
because Dr. Erdmann lived among us. A.A.C.E.R.
