May I Present to you Dame Lapin Paris...

The Lady Of Tanglewood.

Last evening in Tanglewood, Her Excellency, Kamilah Hauptmann, presided over an extremely well-attended ceremony to induct Lapin Paris into the chivalry. A more worthy individual would be difficult to find. Her grace and style under pressure and her personal investment in the Relay For Life speaks volumes for this wonderful lady.

She was cheered and lauded by MANY in Caledon for an extended period of time during and after her official ceremony. (Beautifully done, Your Excellency!!)

Below are just a few snapshots of the moments shared last night. Please join me in extending your congratulations and thanks to Dame Lapin when next you see her.

For Pete

This year my involvement with the Second Life Relay For Life has been dedicated privately to the memory of my real life father-in-law, Pete, who died in 1999 after an extended battle with pancreatic cancer. He was a true joy and light in the lives of all he touched.

More openly I have described my work with cancer patients in the acute hospital setting. Those patients and their families are also on my mind. So too are the scientists and physicians with whom I work daily as they search for the cure.

Thank you Miss Lapin Paris for all your hard work as the Captain of Caledon's Relay For Life team. Thank you to all who volunteered and donated time, effort, and hard-earned Lindens.
What a success!! Over 32 Million Lindens raised overall this year, and over 1.3 Million Lindens by the Caledon RFL Team!
Vivat Caledon!!
