Just curious, what's your day job, Frank?
One of the boys/guys who was in my son's scout troop, another Eagle
Scout, went to Regina(I am almost positive it was Regina anyway) and
married a Canadian girl.  His brother already lived up there and Andy
met this girl while visiting his brother.  From what I understand, he is
a RCMP.  He's a great guy..so if you come across a Mountie with a
distinct "non-accent" ask him if his name is Andy and tell him TJ's mom
said hello.  Andy was one of my Venturers as well.  He would be 23, I guess.
