Meeting the PM

One of our graduating students, the extracurricular Mr. Dan Postma, had the opportunity to shake hands with Paul Martin yesterday. I myself was privileged to meet and shake hands with Prime Minister Joe Clark in the parliamentary dining room in Ottawa back in December 1979. He was all of 38 years old at the time, and I was 24. Exactly eight days later Clark's government fell on a vote of nonconfidence in the Commons. I claim no credit.
