I can't believe my luck today...I was just at the Calgary airport to pick up my mom coming in from Brandon, and while we are waiting for mom's flight to get in...I look up from where I was sitting and Tom Jackson the actor from "North of 60" as well as a great spokesperson and one of the orginazers of the Huron Carol is walking right in front of me. Okay I have always wanted to meet that guy as I always thought he was kinda cool...well it turns out he is, I went over and we shook hands and right away he asked me my name and then we chatted for a minute then off I went to get mom...
I know some here may not know him, but he is a great man and it doesn't take much to keep me happy, a handshake and a bit of conversation....Wow, I mean it I have always wanted to meet that guy..I was so happy that tears ran down my leg I think...anyway, cool stuff for me!!
Merry Christmas

Son flew on the same plane to ontario with George Fox once, had a nice conversation with the man. Had to pass his delight on to his ontario relatives.

George Who?

I rode up 17 floors in an elevator with Wayne Gretzky a couple of weeks ago.
Made some small talk but I was too much in awe to think to ask for a pic.

I've always been a big fan of Tom, his acting. his music, and his charity work.

In my book, he's a Great Canadian, for sure!

Nice picture Macleod...thanks for posting him up,he deserves every attaboy that he gets for his charity work alone...but he is most humble and more of a behind the scenes kinda guy!
