Spencer was one of the 3 Wise Men (and was the last surviving) who led the Grain of Wheat Church-Community in its early years when we joined having returned from eight years in South Asia. He was also my neighbour with whom I shared a deep respect for his graduate supervisor, George (Lament for a Nation) Grant. In the stormy days leading up to the free trade agreement with the United States, Spencer provided strong encouragement to speak out for a healthy Canadian nationalism. I always valued his penetrating insights and I am grateful for having known him.
