Hi Eric mon ami,
Thank you very much for your kind comments and remembering some of the tales 
of yore. :-) It's a never ending story of moments in life over the years and 
my good fortune to have been given the opportunities to cover so many parts 
of the world and survived. :-) Operative word.."survived!" ;-)

There's a chap coming to see me shortly wants to do something along the 
lines you suggest. Recording the memoirs, but he wants to tie it in with a 
book and have a CD or DVD with sound tracks in a couple of languages that 
would go with a book when it was purchased. Or another suggestion was to 
create a sound track - picture DVD book.

I suppose this is quite common these days, although I'm not familiar with 
it. We shall see within the next couple of months.:-)

Yes we'll let the lads and lasses know and you shall have an autographed 
copy good sir! :-) If it comes to pass!

Yes it was Trudeau. And once again doing things my way gently and without 
fuss, I was the only one to get this captured moment of him doing it. :-) 
One might say a "once in a lifetime opportunity and picture."
