Dr. Fergus Ducharme: when you retired, we lost one hell of a good doctor. Talented as the day is long, and just as down-to-earth as the guy selling turnips at the grocery store.

I wonder what it was that encouraged people like him to come to the north, all those years ago? Whatever it was, should be given to a lot of other doctors, entering their working years, who don't seem to want to come to these communities anymore.

I think its great that three well known and talented doctors are being recognized for their contributions. However, I wonder what relevance a speaker like Gwyn Dyer, who will probably charge a significant amount for delivering his lecture and, no doubt, promote his book, has on this auspicious event.

Haven't we got any local individuals who can bring a local perspective to this occasion?
