So here we are more than buns deep in snow in Ottawa for this day of 
happeings.

It starts with a special luncheon at the famed Rideau Club hosted by 
ex-Prime Minister Joe Clak and his wife Maureen. Later a media interview.
Then 7PM at the National Archives of Canada a hosted reception for invited 
guests whom I have no idea will be there. All I was told was 
" you'll be surprised!" :-) Nice way to start off the celebration of the 
screening at 7.30 of the film documentary about my wicked wicked life as a 
photojournalist and the 280,000 images collected by the Archives of Canada 
of my photography.
It's the largest collection in Canadian history by one Canadian 
photographer. Quite frankly a surprise!
7.30 the lights fade and the film begins! Trust me a scary thought as you 
have no idea how these people sitting in a big theatre auditorium will 
re-act. Me? 
Hell I know already there are places I'll be my usual tear shedding Ted 
simply because the personal realities of being on location with things like 
the  Chernobyl cancer ridden kids come sweeping back.

Do you know why I'm telling this to you folks?
Because I'm as nervous as a kitten! Man nothing like this or even close has 
ever happeend to me in my life and I'm kind of reaching out to the LUG 
family for strength to cope. I know I'll get through whatever it is, but 
it's not going to be easy, trust me. I do have most of my family here for 
support, but you folks are special lso.
I'll fill you in later with the events happenings. :-)
the old guy,
ted
