Standing Down Gracefully

Rory J. Koopmans, B. Admin., Highlands Public Library Terminal #X, Edmonton, Alberta

April VIIIth, MMXIX

Hon. Dave Eggen, B. Ed., Minister of Education, New Democratic Candidate, Edmonton-North West

Dear Dave:

As your caucus colleague the Hon. Brian Mason, Minister of Infrastructure & Leader of the Government in the House, New Democratic, Edmonton-Highlands-Norwood prepares to stand down after 29.5 consecutive years in office at the municipal & provincial levels (a remarkable achievement), we ask Brian for some words of wisdom about when to retire. As the Alberta NDP Leader just before Rachel took over, Brian is indeed a very wise man & respected by all sides.

"I've won 10 consecutive elections & I think that's enough."

Brian Will Be Truly Missed By His Constituents,

Rory
