Wow.<\/p>\n

Robert was a BC publishing powerhouse and an instructor when I was at the Banff Publishing School in ’95. Kristin on the other hand was in my\u00a0 group “HarperMac” at the very same course. (She obviously got a lot more out of it than I did lol).<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

I still have the binder with all the materials we got during the two week intensive.<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s remarkable how well she’s done. and funny\/ironic she was there to preside over Robert’s retirement. Life sure is funny.<\/p>\n

Funny story. If Kristin remembers me at all its because I continually annoyed her by getting her name wrong. I blame it on the intensive nature of the course, but I don’t expect I’d get any high paying job offers from Penguin any time soon \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

All I have are bad pictures:<\/p>\n
