[Leica] ORDER of CANADA PRESENTATION & PRIME MINISTER of CANADA? :-)

[Gerry Walden]

What can be said Ted except congratulations yet again on the award. If ever there was a well deserved accolade this is it and far more worthy than those given out to dubious politicians for a lifetime of unrecognised crime.

Time to sit back and rest on your laurels now my friend.

Kindest regards,

Gerry
