Some things about me that you may not have known and now that I’ve “let the cat out of the bag” you may wish you still didn’t know. Beware…there will be more revelations from time to time. Personal note to Brodie: If we sit up late at Christian Horizons and talk long enough, you'll hear all these stories.
My Biggest Sports Hero (that I’ve met and conversed with): Julius Erving (Dr. J)
The Meeting I Was Looking Forward To (but got lost en route): A meeting with Dr. Billy Graham in Toronto in 1995. As a committee member of Mission Ontario I was scheduled to meet Dr. Graham at a reception at the Marriott Hotel with the rest of the committee and their spouses but we got lost trying to find a park where our foster daughter was having a picnic.
