Someone asked about his wife (ex-wife) and it reminded me of the dignity he
showed when his then wife was somewhat of a 'wild'child'. I remember the
published photo of his then wife, sitting, and apparently signing an
autograph, her knees pulled up- and sans pantaloons, with her cooter hanging
out. This would have completely devestated anyone of lesser ilk.
Since then, I always felt he had a lot of grace during difficult time in his
and Canada's life(Canada was dealing with the strong French separatist
movement then...)
