I met Brian and his wife Maureen on the steps of the Vimy Memorial, in France, in June 2000. We got talking about the project and they seemed interested in becoming involved. After his return home, I received an email from him and he eventually offered to help organise the collection of photos and promote the project in Alberta. Since then he has solicited a number of war grave sponsorships from his friends and acquaintances in Cochrane, making it the world leader in sponsorships!! Go Cochrane!! He has also recruited a number of volunteers from across Alberta. I can’t seem to get a decent smiling photo from Brian. Maybe inside he’s smiling from ear to ear. Lets hope so. Brian was also interviewed and videoed photographing war graves for a piece on Global TV in Lethbridge, Alberta. The item was subsequently broadcast across Canada on Friday Nov. 10, 2001
