Gail proudly showing off the two-page spread about Navigating Hope.
It’s been a good Saturday morning for Gail and me.
We opened the Winnipeg Free Press (Saturday, October 13, 2018) over coffee and toast, flipped to the 49.8° (Altitude At Latitude) section, pages F7-8 to find a two-page spread with photos from our Navigating Hope project. Kittie Wong from the Winnipeg Free Press did a wonderful write-up of our project and Free Press photographer Phil Hossack took a great family photo (Gail, me and our greyhound, Styxx).
If you can, take a look at the print version of the paper. The article can also be found online at https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/arts-and-life/entertainment/arts/sidewalk-therapy-497192111.html

Active treatment ended last week with my ringing a bell. (more…)
