The late Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, the father of Canada's new Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Well you aren't the first to tie the two of them together in relation to the "BIG SLIDE!" J There are a couple of ideas in the mill. :-) thanks for your heads-p! cheers, ted J -----Original Message----- From: LUG [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Douglas Barry Sent: December-05-15 1:44 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" Impressive Ted, but you forgot to mention just one minor photo - the Trudeau Bannisters One. I'm 65 and all of us around that age and older remember that! Your new lunch mate will rememember that one, unless he's got Alzheimers, or was an infant at the time. You should try and persuade Trudeau minor to repeat the feat for you, and, in turn, I'm sure you'll make sure to be around to take Justin's son when he becomes Prime Minister in turn. As a retired banker, I've met with at least 20 people who made it to 100 and the oldest I met was 105. To push the boundaries, I hope to meet you on your 106th birthday with a Leica, the Trudeau family, and some bannisters.
