    I made the front page of a major Canadian newspaper

    I made the front page of the Dunnville Chronicle at the annual St. Patricks dinner and celebration. For those that don't know, Dunnville (pop. 12,000) is a very, very large community in southern Ontario just up from where the Grand river exits in Lake Erie. For those that are familiar with Dunnville, please keep quiet!

    Here is the picture on the front page to have as a keepsake or computer wallpaper:



    I'm fashionably dressed in my MacLaclan ancient, Arrun sweater and new Lovat green Argyle jacket. Funny, I don't recall the photgrapher asking my name. I guess he or she must have been too dazzled to remember to ask.

    "The Grant" as he likes to be called now, arrived in style at the local St. Patrick's Day dinner and show. He then treated a member of the local gentry (me) to a couple pints of Guinness at the Queens Hotel! Great evening!

    Grant is officially that guy.

    Way to go, Grant. I've always wondered how the English celebrate St. Patrick's Day!

    Oh I see you now.... You must have slid into the picture when you saw the photographer taking the shot of an interesting group of celebrants... I guess technically you made the paper... lol
