Front Row Seats

Today I had my first meeting as part of the Calgary Portfolio Management Trust (CPMT), which is a program for finance students at the University of Calgary. About 15 of us had an hour to chat with Stephen A. Jarislowsky, a Canadian investment icon. He told us about his experiences over the course of his 55-year career in investing, and it was all quite fascinating. It was a medium-sized board room, and we all got to sit close and participate in the discussion.

In other news, we took Scott's booster highchair for a test drive tonight. He sat at the table with us for the first time, strapped into his Fisher Price booster chair. We bought it on Saturday with a gift card from all the kind folks at my job in Ottawa. If any of them are out there, Scotty sends his thanks.

I hope you took good notes so that you too can become a Canadian investment icon and then send your favorite sister many pricey gifts.

Scott is so blessed to have a dad who is learning how to support him and the rest of the family in good style. And already he has such a neat booster seat to go to meals with. Lucky kid!
