I am 85 years young and attended the University of Victoria the summer of 1978. The goal was to get some credit plus visit teacher and actor Colin Skinner who had been my professor at Northeast Missouri State Teachers College in Kirksville, Missouri.
After getting married I convinced my wife to take a vacation trip to Victoria and as a result it has become our vacation destination. My wife visited Victoria twice this past year and a friend and I visited in September. My friend became very enthusiastic about Victoria and the surrounding area.
I want to thank all the citizens of Victoria and the surrounding area who work to make our stay and others so enjoyable, especially cooks, dishwashers, waitress and waiters, sanitation and hotel staff, bus drivers and all other citizens who contribute your time and effort but never get thanked.
A special thanks to the elderly homeless gentleman near London Drug who picked up a credit card a customer had dropped and did not know that he did and walked after him and returned it.
I was very impressed by Justin Trudeau’s kind and humanitarian response to the absurd tariff issue.’
There are only two types of people in the world: those that give you strength and those that take away your strength.
Thanks to all,
