Dear Toni:
Ahhh, Yes...seems like in the Clan Sinclair, "wherever you go, there
you are!" I was through the Lakehead in 1969 as a student hitching to
and from Montreal'. Gome guy with a mine gave me a ride from Wawa to 30
miles west. I was only picked up from there because the driver was dying
to know how I got on the hi-way in the middle of the bush (with the
black flies) At least it got me through to Thunder Bay. I will try and
say hello from down under! If not, Merry Cristmas to you and yours ,
Toni. I return on the 21 of Dec. and cannot see me having time to be
on..  Gord....:)
