Hi everyone:
This lunch sounds like a great idea but sorry I cannot make it in person this time. However, I do think of all of you often am happy to have this opportunity to say hello and share some recent (and not so recent) news with you. After retiring from DFO in 1997 I spent some time volunteering with CESO – overseas assignments as well as some closer to home. I then became an invited member of the Hatchery Scientific Reform Group , a scientific panel established by the US Congress to look into the effects of hatchery salmonids on wild ones (see www.hatcheryreform.us). I also have a consulting company dealing with fish health issues but do not advertise this as I am kept busy enough with the above and other important things on the home-front as follows.
Sandra and I have just celebrated our 55th wedding anniversary in our now mature garden of 35 years which gives us much pleasure to work in and enjoy.  Other interests are travel, both here and abroad. In the last few years we have found cruise ship travel to be especially enjoyable – quite a change from camping!
Both our daughters live and work in Ontario, so annual visits from them are unfortunately what we have to settle for. However, our grand-daughter is a Schulich science scholar at UBC so we see more of her.
As I write, I have in front of me our year 58 picture and although I am sure appearances will have changed I still think of all of you as we were then.
A special thank you, Don, for the prompt. It is good to keep in touch.
Cheers – and every best wish to you all.
Trevor
