Patti - Thanks for sharing this! Well done Brian Busby!
Yes, congratulations to Brian. By the way, he has an article about the experience of writing the book in the latest Concordia alumni magazine:

I find the site a little odd to navigate but the article is on page 42.
Always good to see a fellow Concordia grad doing so well ;).
Thank you Patti, Margot and John. The book was something of a labour of love, so the recognition is especially appreciated. I was happy to write the piece for Concordia. 'Twas the influence of professor that encouraged me to take on the task all those years ago. A much-loved, much-missed man.
