June begins at Birds.

A good read: The Third Wave by Steve Case: it presents “a compelling roadmap for the future…that can help us make sense of the technological changes reshaping our economy and the world.

Members:

Brett Bain.

Sean Baylis.

Jim Bladon. 

Paul Boucher.  Vimy Ridge (is what I wrote).

Greg Callander.  The University District (West Campus) development is enjoying excellent residential sales activity (Truman and Brookfield) and retail is looking pretty good, too.

Ian Campbell. If you hear a high-pitched, humming buzz that suddenly stops, you are about to be bitten (by a mean-spirited Manitoba mosquito). Ian shared his hemoglobin with them and with vicious black flies while fishing for pike and walleye on Dogskin Lake. Meanwhile, his son is competing for a berth on the volleyball team, maybe soon heading off to Gatineau.

Matt Dart. Family life is interesting.

Don Davis. Don suggests you be on the lookout for insurance scams that begin by promising you lower premiums.

Todd Dean.  Todd shared one of those “stick to what works” lists (from one of his mentors).

George Doherty. George is working on a golf tournament for the Birds at Links Ridge . 

Don Doolan.

Ken Eades. 

Tony Fisher. Tony is a Bird, so of course he knows how to keep woodpeckers at bay: you buy an outdoor sound system that plays a recording of a distressed woodpecker.

Gord Forsyth .

Mel Gibson.

Henry Heuver. Nyet to Birds for the next few weeks. Henry and Joan are off to Moscow, St. Petersburg and a river cruise down the Volga.

David Hicks.  He was here – but short of words.

Bill Hoogstratten. 

Dan Kennelly.  He chaired a good meeting.

Keith Kozak.

Matt Litke. Great talks are coming to Matt’s dominion: his centre is hosting U of C professors who provide fascnating insights on world events. The Battle of Normandy is the topic for June 26th. You’re invited. Seats are free. Get time and address from Matt.

Andy Lockhart.  A new knee + 18 holes of golf = pain. That formula, however, will not keep him from his annual Whitefish trip.

J.D. MacDonald. He’s promoting by way of the BBB. That should help.

Michael McLennan. 

Ross Mikkelsen. What? Have the rules changed? Ross watched Enmax swap out a power pole without turning off the power. Does this mean we can change our light fixtures, accordingly?

Mike Mikkelson . A trip down the red carpet. A padded seat of red brocade. And surrounded by dark wood. Sounds like Mike had a good dinner at Caesar’s.

Brad Pachal.

Gerry Parcells.

Bruce Roblin. 

Dwayne Vink. Amongst other things, Dwayne helps principals sell their businesses. A rare skill, that.

Bob Wiggins. His desktop printer continues to work like a darn but, after 20 years, the maker has discontinued the refills.

Chris Wright. 

George Roberts.  Words work when written well.
