Dear David:

Once again from Executive Director Pat Godkin all the way to me, the lowest volunteer on the totem pole did an excellent job at the IInd Edmonton-Advance Poll. I did not work the last one due to a family committment, but I did sit in as a PC Party volunteer II make sure no one monkeyed around with the ballot boxes. It was an exercise in democracy, we had students aglow that they could get an extra hour off from school to go vote with their parents together as a family. This bonding was wonderful to see, then we had the renewed sense of democracy when the Premier & Mrs. Getty came into vote. The old quarterback knows the political game cold & might be able to toss a few strategic moves to Ricky Ray & the current Edmonton Eskimos. Yes it was quite an exciting time & the look of voter satisfaction on the face of young voters to me was the most priceless of all.

Hurrah For A New PC Leader On Saturday, October Ist,

Rory
