Dear Don,

     No, my 15 minutes of fame occurred in the second last year of high
school when I got up and won a speech-making contest. As I recall it was
some appalling topic like Biculturalism in Canada. I didn't win the grand
prize - a week in Ottawa - but then you must remember that second prize was
two weeks in Ottawa....

     It did, however, lead to an offer from the editor of the local weekly
newspaper of a job in the darkroom. Thus I gained access to a 4 x 5 Crown
Graphic, a heated rotary dryer, and a " Press " card. I used to pin the "
Press " card to the fly of my trousers in the hope that somebody would, but
I was disappointed.

     Now that I have the internet and no clear idea of what I am doing I am
going to have to settle for 15 minutes of flame....

     Uncle Dick

PS: I really am a an uncle to lots of kids but they tend to avoid me at
family parties. I'm the uncle that fills the small ones up with sugar and
red food colouring, shakes them up and leaves.
