Wow, it seems I missed the fire storm while I was back home in Newfoundland celebrating birthdays and Christmas all in one two week session. But it was some time!

Now, about Charlene?

In a nutshell, she's the greatest!

Even before I had a computer and was unaware that there was all this amazing stuff happening for Gordon Lightfoot fans on the internet, Charlene had opened the door of her home to fans who came to Ontario to celebrate the music of Gordon Lightfoot and connect with each other in person.

She held a barbeque and shared her home with those folks. They played the music, sang the songs and when I eventually discovered there were video tapes available which were taken at that event, she made copies and sent them to me here in Vancouver and asked for nothing back. She never asks for anything back.

She has done things too numerous to mention in the way of helping out and making folks comfortable when they come to Toronto for the Massey shows etc.

She's a professional in her work and Gordon Lightfoot works with a lot of professional people.

That's precisely why HE phones HER.

She goes over and above the call of duty in the job she does here and it would take a very special person to walk in her shoes if we ever lost her.

You hang in there gal. The team stands behind you.

Sort of "we'll do more than just tag along."

Cheers,

RJ.
