Patrick James Dunn Great
snap! We dream about setting off the holiday season in Canada! Have to
wait until December 2nd for our pre-Yuletide Bash at The Islay Inn,
#GIBar!
Pat,
Are you and Corinne available on Saturday Dec. 8th for dinner?
Ray
Pat,
The recent mauling by a grizzlie in
Kimberley was done to Peter Moody and his wife, unfortunately. I think
you knew him from your days at the Ed. Library.

Hi Raymond!
Corinne had heard something about the attack on the
radio but I wasn't aware of it until you sent the message. I read an
article from the Calgary Herald a few moments ago. What a horrific
event! Quite amazing the Peter was able to walk 1-2K to nearest
residence for help given his injuries and his age! I suppose he has
maintained his fitness. He always impressed me as being pretty tough in
that physical fitness sense. Bit like Robo Man, if I do say so!
I
always liked Peter from my days in Education. He seemed much more
down-to-earth than Garry, although Gaz was always most likeable even if
he wanted everyone else to do his work for him! Do hope both Peter and
his wife will recover completely. If you are in contact, please pass
along my best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.
On the
lovely invitation for dinner, I'm terribly sorry but we can't come. For
her part Cora Lee will be in Seattle with The Sisterhood: Flamin' and
Robyn. Goils only weekend! I would be delighted to come alone but I have
already accepted another invitation. Do apologize as we'd love to have
come, otherwise.
Just back from VPL where I helped Kerry unload
the cartons of books on sale for David Boyd's public lecture on the
right to a healthy environment. (UBC Press publishes his work.) David
Suzuki was supposed to be there but was taken ill, suddenly, so Peter
Robinson, new CEO of the DSF stepped in. Simply riveting talk. David
Boyd is a wonderful speaker and presented a fairly complex subject in a
way that was both accessible and engaging:
The
Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms provides every Canadian with
freedom of expression, equal protection from discrimination and the
right to life, liberty and security. But it has nothing to say about our
right to a healthy environment.
Everyone
needs access to clean air, safe water, fertile soil, and nutritious
food, to survive and to thrive. The natural environment, made up of
complex and diverse ecosystems, provide these most basic needs.
The
David Suzuki Foundation and Ecojustice Canada are working together to
ensure every Canadian receives legal protection of their right to a
healthy environment.
It was part of the
launch of his new book: The Right to
a Healthy Environment. In spite of the fact that this lecture was the
culminating event in a
national book tour Boyd didn't seem at all exhausted. He spoke
passionately, always lucidly and peppered his talk with humour and
fascinating examples of what embedding legal protection into the
constitution can and has done in many, many jurisdictions around the
world. Sadly, Canada is not one of those national jurisdictions. Place
was packed. I invited Kjell along as Coriandre had another meeting!
Sweden was cited specifically as an example of one of the leading
countries with respect to environmental law and enforcement but
ironically, not via its constitution. Kjell was quite aware of both
facts. He was simply delighted to have been able to attend. Most
worthwhile indeed!
Went out to Iona again today, (Initially I was
simply going to ride to 41st and Arbutus for a haircut but thought of
dismounting dissuaded me!), along Spanish Banks/MD to CSTB, for a bit of
extra distance. Needed some other riders to draft behind on way out as
wind was fierce, although it was much warmer, overall. Bit like
yesterday on return. I went up Cambie to 57th and then across to heather
and back down to 70th to connect with MD back to UBC. A few
dipsy-doodles around campus to have 88K by time I reached the bottom of
the FSH. Then to Kits Point for a few loops to up kilometre count. Home
with 102.2K over 5:02:48, AVG 20.2KPH, MAX52.3KPH. I decided that I
should take advantage of the dry weather while it held. Doesn't look
promising for next little while as I'm sure I need not tell you.
Anyway, hope we will see you on Sunday. Will chat before then. Cheers, Patrizzio!

Isaac Brock Alumni Neweletter and Data Base
Hello Everyone,
We are pleased to send you the
first issue of the Isaac Brock Alumni newsletter. It gives an update of
where we are at in terms of planning for the 100th Anniversary celebrations. We will issue other newsletters
from time to time to keep you abreast of plans as they evolve.
Also attached is a copy of the
Alumni data base (with personal information removed). It is colour
coded with green indicating information we have and yellow information
we are requesting (especially e-mail addresses for
those that have them). Other areas without a colour are for optional
information. We would very much appreciate your help in reviewing the
data base, providing missing information and adding names and contact
information of other alumni and former staff
who are not currently on the list. We would like to be able to contact
as many former Isaac Brockers as possible. Thanks very much for your
assistance.
Watch for a separate e-mail coming
out later today giving information on our next fund raiser event – the
Sisters of the Holy Rock concert on March 16, 2013!!
We hope to see you there and/or at the reunion in May.

Hello there Patrizio!
I have just received the email below
from my brother Murray and so thought you might like to know about this
reunion as well! It might be a blast!
I have added my name to the spreadsheet
and put in my address and email address.. hopefully the correct
version will be attached to this email to you.
Hope all is well now you're back from your trip and hope to see you guys before the end of December!
Cheers! Joan
Hi Joan!
Must apologize for not being
in touch sooner! No excuses but plenty of reasons! Thanks for
information on Isaac Brock Reunion. I think I might just be able to make
it. I agree, it would be great good fun!
Will definitely be in touch once we are back, mid-February. Happy Christmas and a Healthy New Year to you, Joan!! Cheers, Cora Lee and Patrizzio!
Hi again, Ski!
I had asked Coriandre about dates for St. Martin and sent along ones she
gave to me, February 1st-10th. Now, she has revised our schedule and
would like to visit from January 28th- February 6th, +/-, depending on
your schedule. Sorry for the confusion, (It
was clear as mud/But it covered the ground/The confusion made me head
go round! Thanks, Harry!) Please let us know as soon as you are able to
"confirm reservations" so that we can proceed with booking flights, etc.
Thanks!
Once again, terrific to see you. Let me know about booking into the Pent
House at MacCormack Manor, St Maarten Estates by the Sea.Safe journey
home! Fondestos and Cheers, Patrizzio!
Hi:
After reading your email about your biking, I am feeling like a sloth. I
left early for the airport to try to change my flight, but alas, no
luck. I am wasting away in Vancouver International. I need to go for a
walk
Let me know what dates you decide - I am thinking 7 - 10 days is a good
length since Gordon emailed me and he is thinking of coming in mid Feb.
and Ron's sister is coming for her March break and someone from Ron's
hockey team said he wanted to take his wife
- I am not sure about that visit since I don't know them very well.
There may be some nieces thrown in there as well.
It sounds like a busy winter in St Martins!
How will you get your exercise when you are away? The beach near us is
great for swimming, so make sure you bring your goggles and you can swim
back and forth in the cove. I was thinking of trying to find you a
bike. There are bike rentals.
Thanks for your hospitality, Al really enjoyed his visit and you never know he might come by on Sunday.
Love, Rhoda also know as "Ski"
Coffaro Dec. Open House, NY's Party & Matt's Wine Quip
It's THAT time of the year again and what's better than parties and Coffaro Wine?
We're having an Open House on December 15 and also a New Year's Eve party on December 31st.
For the details and much more, read Matt's December Wine Quip which you'll find on the website here:

Happy Holidays to all. We hope to see many of you soon!

I am a bit confused/that maybe you are confused. So lets put down some facts.
We have company that will be leaving about 1/19 if you are coming then.
We are hoping you arrive about then for about a 2 week stay if you think
you can stand us that long. If not, come later or leave earlier.
We have company arriving 2/5. With that company we are doing a Yacht
Club cruise 2/8 returning 2/15. Company will fly home 2/18.
If you come between 1/19 and leave b/4 Feb 5 you can leave your car
here. If you return b/4 we return (between 2/8 & 2/15) we can set
up the apartment so you can regroup and take off b/4 we return. We only
have 2 bedrooms and a pull out couch. So we would
be a bit tight with all 6 of us should that happen. If you are staying
at St. Martin while we are gone you are more than welcome to stay with
us after Feb 18.
Ok, now about the bus vs limo.
The limo will pick both of you up at our apartment and drop you off at
the airport for a total price of about $175.00 + 20% Gratuitly. they
meet you at the airport with a sign with your name on it. Makes you
feel real important. The drive is approx 2 hrs
one way.
The limo name is "A class transportation" 239-389-0550
Jack just googled and the site comes up. if that doesn't work
info@aclasstransportation.com should work.
Your bus is cheaper and we can certainly drop/pickup you at the
McDonalds but if you return while we aren't here I don't know taxie
costs.
Jack wonders why you aren't parking you car @ Miami. Can it be more than the bus fare both ways?
If this doesn't make sense maybe we need to talk by phone.
Our address: 100 Stevens Landing #105, Marco Island, FL 34145
Jack's cell phone: 239-394-5177 Gail's cell phone: 360=317-4666.
I am sure the cell phones won't work while we are doing
our cruise but other than that we try to carry them with us all the
time.
If you can't visit us b/4 St Martin, can you visit afterwards?
I better send this or it will get longer than long. We just keep thinking of something else. Gail
