Terry, I've heard you talk about this journey to the Leacock medal a couple of times now, and it still gives me chills. It's SUCH a great story!

I am so proud that Mark has a part in your story!! He was my assistant manager at Prospero Books on Bank St in Ottawa a few lifetimes ago and we've remained friends ever since. Great guy, wonderful supporter, awesome friend!

Had not realized you were a Mac grad. It all makes sense now...Mac has churned out some very talented people- Ivan Reitman, Eugene Levy , Dave Thomas, Martin Short ..

My major was Mac radio, with a minor in Political science. Have thoroughly enjoyed all the books

The juxtaposition of the calm, smiling photo with the quote (no punctuation) in the Star is hilarious.

What a hoot! I look back sometimes at the things that I have done and just wonder, "What the hell? How did I have the chutzpah to do THAT?" And I love the scene in my head of you second-guessing your entry and running after the courier. Am enjoying the tale of your journey, Terry!
