Hey Apis...
« on: September 19, 2015, 01:16:10 pm »
Hey Apis.
At the farm market today I was approached by a couple and they were looking at my honey and talking amongst themselves. I figured out they were not local so I asked where they were from. He said they were from Kelowna. I jumped on it and told them I was born and raised just down the road in Vernon. He looked puzzled, and then asked me if I had ever been an inspector. I told him I had for a couple years, and he told me he had a friend in Vernon that mentioned he knew someone in Nova Scotia who was an inspector.
Turns out that friend is you! He says that he helps you set up at the Armstrong Exhibition! We had a good laugh and chat.

If I had a camera with me I would have got a picture of us together. :sad:

I haven't worn a t shirt since high school gym class. I'm glad he hooked up with you Perry. I called him about working a shift at the fair when he told me he was out in the maritimes. I was going to email him your contact info so he could look you up but with the fair and everything ease it slipped my mind.
