At which time many of you offered congratulations, which I humbly accept. At the time they were to be presented in March, but this date was changed to coincide with two things, Yousuf Karsh's itinerary and the PPOC/CAPIC convention next week in Ottawa. A major event for Canadian professional photographers. So it is once again a time to become nervous at standing before my peers and receive a wonderful honour of recognition, especially with Yousuf Karsh and Tom McNeely. It is double good fortune for me, as I won the Yousuf Karsh Award in 1971 for B&W portraiture in Photojournalism presented by the the Professional Photographers of Canada. So to stand with him while we both receive the same Life Time Award gives an extra special meaning to the event. So the big gala evening is on Tuesday the 10th next week in Ottawa. I assure you I'll make the LUG family proud and hold the Leica on high! ted Ted Grant This is Our Work. The Legacy of Sir William Osler. http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
