HUGE NEWS

I told you something was brewing, and now I can make the official announcement.

Buy your Vancouver Province tomorrow (Friday, December 7, 2007) or read it on-line at http://www.canada.com/theprovince/index.html

Why?

Because starting tomorrow and every Friday thereafter, I begin my new assignment as a Vancouver Province Columnist.

The column will appear on the editorial page.

I was thrilled and astounded when the editor approached me out of the blue to ask if I'd be interested.

I am deeply honored.

Also terribly excited.

Hope you enjoy the pieces as they appear.

Sincere congratulations David! It will be good to have your words "out there" - although I *do* still miss listening to you. I Look forward to reading your articles.

Great fun! Make Gordo and Waffling
Wally and Silly Sam nervous. It appears that Canwest may be modifying its dictatorial policies re: editorial focus and hiring freelance travel writers. Spoke to the Edmonton Journal editor yesterday about a copy of a feature on James Barber which I arranged in 1984. Spoke about travel and he denied there was a policy not to use freelance travel stuff. Yet, I've been told this by someone at the Province and the Calgary Herald. With declining readship, perhaps they've done a rething and you've lucked in! Well done! Cheers

David I respect you, but the Province is a rag and is a waste of trees. However, I am glad you will now have a public voice to keep our pathetic "leaders" in check. Please, show the citizens of this city and province how truly stupid and out of touch these people are. Congrats.
