[Leica] "ORDER of CANADA" awarded! ;-)

[tedgrant at shaw.ca (Ted Grant)]

Hi Crew,

Well as of today the Official press release from the offices of the Governor
General announcing those nominated to receive, "The ORDER of CANADA!" It
seems I'm selected as one of the recipients. J

 

WOW! HOLY MACKERAL! I CAN'T BELEIVE IT? HOLY COW! ME? SELECTED TO RECEIVE
THE ORDER of CANADA!!!!!  If you'd like to find out what this is all about?

When I lived in Ottawa many years ago I had news assignments to attend this
very special event and photograph recipients receiving their award. Now I've
come full circle to recipient and someone will be photographing me. J

 

Now let me tell you, this is one tough call for the "old emotional jerk" to
cope with! I have no idea how I'll do on 12 February 2016? Certainly
standing before the Governor General receiving this incredible honour
bestowed on me. Oh I'll cry that's a given so I'll have a few hankies in my
pockets to help me cope! J

 

This is the second highest award a citizen of Canada can receive in
recognition of service to their country and career. As I type this I've
already had two e-mails from media sources and waiting for a live radio
interview with the CBC, Canada's  national radio service. 

I realise many of you have no idea how important this event is? But in
Canada it's a major sized biggy as an "HONOUR BEYOND ONES WILDEST DREAMS!" 

cheers,

ted  J
