On a personal note, thank you to everyone who sent me kind words during a tough time while I was in Québec supporting my hospitalized father. A huge thanks to everyone who picked up tasks I left behind and also, thanks to all Rotarians who were patient and understanding during this time. I will be back in Jasper on September 27 and I look forward to seeing you at the Fellowship Meeting at EARLS, at 6:30.
