I am enclosing them herewith. They were taken in September 1978 at the soccer fields behind the Parkinson Recreation Centre in Kelowna when you, as Federal Minister of Sports and Fitness (if memory serves) opened a Junior Soccer Tournament in which my son Ian - now 36! - was a participant. It took a little searching to find the slides from which these photos were made, but I thought you might enjoy this glimpse of times past for your personal archives. Respectfully, J.
