This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about Alberta, the history, politics, flavour, and people. I am truly honoured for the invitation to participate in bringing my experience and personality to the series of seminars hosted by enlightened folks from the east. I am particularly tickled that Preston Manning is scheduled to kick off the series. Someone I admire and have shared mountain trails with. I will be making a power point presentation on May 7th with emphasis on western culture as it was and is today. Then on May 9th, I will be joined by Charlie Ewing to present a concert of music and poetry in the Cowboy Style.
