Yes, I'm stalling. I can't quite figure out how to manage photos from Ron's new camera (our home dial-up is far too slow for the quality of pictures the camera takes). I think we've figured out a way, and I hope to be able to post within the next couple of days. But in the meantime, I thought I'd entertain you with yet another backwards glance at a special moment in time. On this hot summer's day, we were all tuckered out from our hike to the top of a hill. I took the opportunity to capture this memory for carrying into the future with us... all of us together... always... each of you bringing in so many others to love... the story continues... fast forward to new pictures next time!

After many years of heavy administrative responsibilities (Associate Dean at McGill, then Department Head at Queen's), Ron finally arrives at the eve of freedom! Here we are at a surprise celebration of the occasion at the end of June. Thanks to the clever machinations of Ron's colleagues, he only partially suspected something might be up (contrary to what some suspect, he did not prepare his speech ahead of time), and he had no idea that the whole family (including myself) were in on the plot! I am deeply grateful that the family were invited to be there for this recognition of Ron's hard work, personal dedication, and significant achievements. From left to right around the table, these are: Sharon, Meghan, Aaron, pAl, Ron, Franceen, Brook (Al's daughter), Caitlin. Oh, and in case there is any confusion, Ron is on a 6-month leave to do research (not on a 6-month holiday), and he will continue on as professor at Queen's (not retired yet)! See you all again in 10 years time?

Ever wonder, if you were given the chance, what point in time you might choose to have stand still? This might be one of them for me!
