"he brings a breath of fresh Canadian air and carries so much more on his shoulders but does so with responsibility, respect for those who went before and we should thank him for that"

He certainly does, Breezy. He's one impressive and talented young man, who gives a nod to his ancestry as a mark of respect, but resists the temptation to be SR Jr, and is at all times NR Sr.

A friendlier, more likeable guy it would be hard to find, and Mrs. Fenswoman and I had a lovely evening in his company and Bob's.

We did indeed have 'NW Passage'(and joined in with great gusto!)! And 'The Field Behind The Plow', and Archie's 'Haul Away'. The joining-in was great and Nathan seemed very pleased with the reception he got.

I believe Bob's hoping Archie will join them in Embra tonight - now that would be some show!

All the best.
