As you know I flew to Canada's capital, Ottawa, to receive the most prestigious award a Canadian civilian can receive in recognition of contributions to his country and above and beyond his/her career. For our USA cousin's I understand it's similar to your "PRESIDENTAIL AWARD." Ok so that was the number one event. J TOTALLY BREATH TAKING! I suppose the 2nd event was on a par. "I was introduced to our new Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Who's father Pierre Trudeau is the subject in my most famous photograph! The Prime Minister sliding down a stair case hand rail his arms high in the air! .... in "ONE CLICK!" M6 Leica film camera 1968 when he became the Prime Minister. I hearing laughter behind me as I descended the stairs, turned and there he was arms on high sliding at me! Camera up! "CLICK!" No tech stuff involved! "SEE, CLICK!" J J On historical levels? In Archives Canada it is considered the most iconic political photograph in the history of Canada to date! Damn, I was quick in my youth! J J J Just kidding folks! J In any event the PM was as charming as could be and very pleased to get an 11X14 mounted and matted 100 years archival photo of his Dad! I have a few photos from both events and we'll get them posted this weekend. cheers all, Dr. ted OC --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
