Box 15-019 LETTER FROM BEVERLEY KETCHEN TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
Feb 18 1943
To: To Whom It May Concern TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
From: Corner MacNab Street & Hunter Place Hamilton Ontario

MACNAB STREET PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Corner MacNab Street and Hunter Place
Rev. Beverley Ketchen, B.B. Minister
HAMILTON


Feb. 18, 1943

To Whom It May Concern:

It gives me great pleasure to write this letter for O.S. Alexander Gow of our Canadian Navy.

I have known him ever since he was born and his family background is of the very best. He is himself a member of my Church; is a young man of good habits and more than ordinary ability.

He has had years of business experience with the same firm and has proven not only his capacity but his integrity too as one worthy to be trusted with responsibility.

Mr. Gow has, I should say, all the qualities of head and heart to make him a capable and valuable naval officer.

All of which is respectfully submitted

Beverley Ketchen1
