[Leica] A WILD WEEK!! WELL OK NEXT THREE DAYS! !

[Douglas Barry]

Sounds all great stuff, Ted, enjoy the trip to Ottawa.

I must say that Roger Bannister was the first to break the magic four minute 
mile, but you, Ted "Banisters" Grant, captured a moment of political magic 
in early '69 that, in truth, helped change Canada, and, in its way, changed 
a perception of politicians across the world in the eyes of the young. I was 
17 when it appeared in all the Irish and British papers, and the power of 
that image dazzled me.
