It should be mentioned that proceeds go the Mel and Marty Jr. Zajac Foundation (http://www.zajac.com/) and will be used to support Zajac Ranch.

"The Zajac Ranch for Children is a camp for children with life threatening or chronic illnesses and/or physical disabilities. The Ranch strives to provide a unique opportunity for these children to receive their ongoing medical treatments while participating in specialized activities in a supportive, fun and memorable camp environment. The Zajac Ranch for Children is proud to be the first and only facility to open its doors to all medical and volunteer agencies serving children."

Ah yes, ... John Reynolds, first elected to the House of Commons as the Progressive Conservative MP for Burnaby-Richmond-Delta on October 30th, 1972. Elected that same year and on the same ticket, led by the late Robert Stanfield, was John Fraser in the neighboring riding of Vancouver South.

Over the next 30 years both Fraser and Reynolds have had their various ups and downs. But there is little doubt that both of them have become Vancouver institutions in somewhat the same way as did David Anderson of Victoria. And as other "stars" like Ujjal Dosanjh and Bill Cunningham haven't quite managed to do.

Anyway, I think my age is showing so I better get on to something else.
