Subject: [The Gordon Lightfoot Fan Club] Gordie in Toronto


Hi folks, I had the honour of meeting Gordie on the streets of Toronto
today -- it took me by total surprise! I'm still slightly in shock --
what a humble and gracious man -- I invited him to dinner, but he
declined -- he said "I'm starting my tour" -- By-the-way, he looks
fantastic and says he's 98% recovered!"

*****
WOW! Isn't that cool!!

VERY!!!

[Sheryl]

Hmmm, how about we *all* invite him to dinner -- he's GOTTA accept someone's eventually!!! LOL

[charlene]

don't feel bad that he didn't accept. i asked him in 2001 to come out to the house for the Charbeque but he seemed too busy...something about rehearsals and concerts....
;)

Char, he had heard about the plans we had made for him - that's why he refused. ;)

[charlene]

I had a special room for him and everything....
lol

TIP
I have just realised from the exercise of uploading that picture to the MSN group album,that the upload feature includes a
most useful utility for anybody who does not yet have Windows XP installed.For those who don't know with XP when you
view/open/explore a folder containing graphics (Jpegs etc) XP very helpfully and automatically shows the folder contents
as a display of thumbnails (instead of boring filenames in lesser Windows).So having looked in windows 98 at my Massey 2001
pictures folder and from the list of filenames that I had used to rename the originals I selected this delectable shot of the
ever so charming Char then when I went to the "add a photo" upload facility in the MSN group I rediscovered that this also
displays a similar set of thumbnails. Magic

Was he on Yonge St? :D
