Vancouver and the Olympic Spirit
Author: Al
We’ve just spent the last few days visiting Vancouver where our son, Stephen, has lived for the past 17 years. As usual we brought the warm weather, something for which we have been known and appreciated over the years 
Since Stephen works during the day, we’ve had ample opportunity to wander through this beautiful city, seeing first-hand the Olympic Village, (now condo sites), and the Olympic flame site. Of course we always appreciate our day in Granville Island and the beautiful views of the mountains and the ocean. The Olympic spirit is still alive and well in this wonderful city.
We were saddened to learn today of the death of Rob Brennan of Triacta fame. He was an amazing person and friend, one who devoted himself to his community and his family, making the most of his many talents. Rob lived in Pakenham in the house formerly owned by Colonel Lisle, another man who contributed a lot to our community. We’ll be home in time to attend Rob’s funeral in our beautiful church in Pakenham. There have been so many funerals there . . .
