Thanks for having a hockey jacket ready for me in July when I landed! I will always remember that you had a customer service representative kick someone off a flight so that I could get home! The teeth on my forehead and burning caterpillars nests in Orillia. Ski dooing and more. Thanks for being a great uncle to a younger me. xoxoxo
