From the Globe and Mail [http://www.globeandmail.com/servlet/...ness/Investor]
from Brendan Kyne, president of hedge fund manager Leeward Capital Management Inc., on his favorite Father's Day memory:

"When I was 10 or 11 years old, in the early 1970s, I went trout fishing with my dad on Father's Day. We got up very early. . . . I remember the sunrise and listening to the AM radio, which was playing Gordon Lightfoot, the car smelled like doughnuts as we had stopped at Tim Hortons to get coffee for my dad. The promise of the day's adventure was wonderful and it gave me the chance to have great one-on-one quality time with my dad and to this day I can still remember that drive."

******************************************
Reminds me of Sundays with my Dad when just we two would go down a few blocks to the Five Points and Eddie's restaurant - he'd have his coffee with the paper, and I'd have hot cocoa and a cinnamon doughnut (or, root beer and an English muffin, depending on weather and mood - mine, not his <g>.) We'd come in the back door past the pinball machines, and sit at the counter on the round metal seats that swiveled around, my feet dangling. All the regulars said hello (my dad was chief of police at the time, the youngest and longest tenured in our city's history.) This is the first year we'll be without him (he died May 25th), so it's nice to have the memories.
