The Point Grey Connection

Just a short and personal note. Dan Aspinall is a friend and fellow board member at Point Grey Golf Club, in Vancouver. It  is clearly one of the top 100 in Canada( although for political reasons not listed as such).

We have played together for close to 30 years, first at UBC and then at Point Grey. Our kids have gone to the same schools and we to the same church. ( I usually only am religious over difficult putts!)

Yesterday we were in Sneek( pronounced Snake), and I was told of some interesting history. Dan's father was an orpan here and as a boy sent to England and during the war to Manitoba. We are told his Dad at age 16 kissed and promised to mary his mom on this bridge. I guess it happened because Dan is amongst us ! Nice to have visited history, which has a Point Grey twist !
