    I was wondering if any of the rabble attended.
    The Sir John A MacDonald is a Brockville school teacher (I think he is retired now). His name is Brian Porter and he is also a member of the Brockville City Pipe Band. He does classroom visits and other festivals as Canada's first Prime Minister and sometimes as Robert Burns.
    All of you look splendid indeed!

    You are correct, I did have a good wee chat with Brian, and when Flora McDonald was making her speech, without aide of a written copy I might add, she made mention of Brain and his accomplishments. He really was a wonderful character to talk with.

    He certainly does bear a striking resemblance to Sir John!
