I'm Honoured

I'm Honoured

February 28, 2007 @ 08:08

Last week I wrote a piece about going to a retirement seminar and meeting two women. TA Marsden and Bernie Wadsworth.

While talking with TA I found out about the Pat Marsden Foundation which has been established to help needy kids join clubs and groups that require registration money. I thought it was a great idea and would provide a fitting legacy to a man who was loved by so many people in Toronto.

As TA told me, Pat didn't have a lot growing up himself so this is the perfect way to keep his memory alive.

And what a pleasant surprise when I received a call from TA yesterday asking me if I would become an honourary director. I immediately accepted and now anxiously look forward to the next fund raiser which will be held at Yonge and Dundas Square over the St. Patrick's Day Weekend.

It's called the 3 Day St. Patrick's Day Bash and it promises to be good fun for a good cause for a good guy.

I'll have more details as the date approaches.

Freddie,
the family is thrilled to have you on the team!

As Bruce said, my dad has probably downed about a dozen rum & cokes since he's heard you're helping out (although he would have had them regardless...!)

Thanks for helping us promote this important cause that is helping kids "Get in the Game".

Good stuff Freddie. Pat used to attend mass at St. Timothy's near the Peanut when I served as an altar boy (and no, my butt-cleft is still a virgin). Decades later, I had the opportunity to share many double-rum and cokes with Pat at CFRB. God, did we get our Irish on some nights!
