Dear David:

Thanks David first & IVmost IV putting the students of Alberta first by not running IV the PC Alberta Leadership again. We need a good man to steer the Education Portfolio in these challenging times & you are definitely the go to guy.

Kudos have II be given II Kate Chegwin School student Bailey Close & her family & school officials IV cancelling their trip II Egypt. Yes its painful to cancel a trip that has already been planned & the trip would have been a valuable experience of learning on the ground in "real time" about a exciting civilization with a rich culture & plenty of excellent historical sites.

But safety must come first. So it has here. Its sad but there will be other trips & other chances to learn. Plus once President Hosni Mubarak leaves office, the situation on the ground will stabilize. Then an alternate travel date can be arranged.

The Pyramids Were Not, I Repeat Not Built In A Day,

Rory
