I will admit I made only one error thus far to my knowledge. Peter worked for AGT Communications which was later bought out by Telus Communications. Peter actually left the company when the buy out happened. I will attain records of the previous company if I can. As for the Food Bank I am sure of that. I remember it clearly as I helped with one of the events in co-operation with the Christmas Bureau here. I helped delivery food hampers and christmas gifts to homes during that season. I am trying to locate information on the internet in regards to the medal he recieved in 2000 from the Royal Canadian Humane Association. He is about to recieve a Certificate of Commendation from the Canadian Govenors General Adrienne Clarkson. She certifies this award of the recommendation from the Canadian Decorations Advisory Committee. The article I mention stated that our Mayor, Bill Smith, will be giving the award to Peter via the Govenor General. I have tried to contact the director of the Decorations committee to ask for information of _exactly_ when the ceremony will take place. If you would like to contact her yourself to maybe speed up the process here is her information: Sylvie Barsalou Coordinator, Decorations The Chancellery of Honours 1-800-465-6890 I have also spoken to A-Channel news requesting if they have any footage of the incident of June 24, 1999. The date I _was_ able to attain. The interview was aired on TV on the 25th. If proof is what is needed to clear my name and also his, I will without doubt get it. I stated fact as I knew it, possibly some events are not as clear as I hoped but I know they happened, and I know what is about to happen. Kevin.
