Thank you, Florian!
Yes, Gord is definately a national treasure!'Railroad Trilogy' is also a wonderful tribute to Canadian history. Thank you for the nice compliment to my homeland! I am a Canadienne errant, now living in Minnesota, and that story, and Gordon's true ballad honouring the 29 men who died, and forever preserving in haunting song that awful night, is very cathartic, and invaluable to local, and national remembrance of those men, and all the men who have lost their lives on Gitchigumi. I have been on the lake in a canoe, solo, when she decides to change moods. I get off the lake - FAST!!!
My father likes to kayak on the big breakers! The power of that inland sea is mind boggling. She has the highest of respect of those who know her.
