Beth and I
in front of our home days after the August 21 tornado. Behind us is the
one walnut tree that survived the tornado. Today that tree is healthy
and a producer of many walnuts every fall.

Two days after
our house was wrecked by the tornado, a
group of friends, family, and complete strangers, showed up at our
house, eager to help. This is what Goderich such a great place to live.

Since being elected to Goderich Town Council,
I have made it a habit to visit the Town Hall of each municipality Beth and I stay in
when we are travelling. Here I am with Mayor Mark Sager of West Vancouver, Bc, and my brother-in-law Bob,
a former West Vancouver Councillor.

On our trip to Newfoundland
last year, I paid a visit to the St. John's City Hall. Unfortunately, Council was in
session that morning, so I wasn't able to meet any Council members.

Every year since
I moved to Goderich in 2003, I have been a volunteer member of the Celtic Festival site setup crew.
In addition to finding the work and camaraderie rewarding, I have been happy to
receive a Celtic Festival T-shirt as a thank you gift. This year was no exception.
