Canada – Today & Tomorrow
with Brian Peckford, former Premier of Newfoundland
Despite a nasty cold and with assistance of Patti, I gave my presentation to a group of about 100 interested folks at the Fairwinds Golf Centre in Nanoose last evening. It couldn’t have gone better. Thanks to Office 365 and the kind assistance from Linda and Elizabeth at Fairwinds, I used my laptop for the first time and all went without a hitch. P and I sold some books but did not stay for the dinner (provided) as we are both under the weather from this nasty cold. Lovely facility and some great people made for a very good experience – my thanks goes out to the staff and guests.
I’m impressed, I must say. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s both equally educative and engaging, and
without a doubt, you’ve hit the nail on the head.
The issue is something that not enough men and women are speaking intelligently
about. I’m very happy that I found this during my hunt for something concerning
this.
