Dear Demetrios:

In the campaign to save CFL Football here in Edmonton, there was no greater hero than Larry Thompson, who took the Edmonton Elks from "community" to "private" ownership & thus financial stability. Just the kind of quality person & campaigner this historic team needed in a crisis. To lose Larry after just over a year as owner at just 65 is very sad. Not only does it rob the Elks of their main anchor, his failed surgery robs him & his beautiful bride Deb of their retirement years & being able to enjoy & improve the Elks as a team together. I am so glad Deb is staying on the sole owner to keep Larry's dream of Grey Cups & future new team campaign glory's alive. 

It Is Exactly What Larry Would Want Deb To Do!,

Rory
