Photo taken after the June 7, 1997 Convocation in the entrance hall of the University of Sainte-Anne. The lady with me is my loving wife, and best friend, Patricia.
I want to state here the vast appreciation and admiration I have for the courage Pat displayed at the time. Diagnosed with breast cancer, she had a mastectomy on May 27, 1997, but ten days later insisted on coming to the Convocation to watch me being honoured by the University. That's devotion!

Delivering the convocation address for the Convocation of the 1997 University of Sainte-Anne graduating class. I was permitted to deliver the Address in English, which was an extraordinary honour, because the School uses French almost exclusively. I believe I might have been the first person to have done so. It was permitted in honour of the close friendly relationship between my ancestors, the Mi'kmaq, and the Acadiens.
