This is marvelous, and so well deserved! So thrilled for you, John! And also, completely excited to find out that you're from Winnipeg, where my family immigrated to from Russia in the early 1900s. Both sides of my dad's family live there. I visited as a teenager in 1989, and it's crazy to think that I might've been in the same city that you were in! Unfortunately, the phone call isn't available on the site at the moment, but I'll revisit it so I can listen!
