Hockey…Canada’s Glorious Game
Tonight I had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Frank Ewert’s public thesis defense. I love this man. It’s been such a pleasure getting to know Frank these last few years. He’s the Sales/Marketing guy at Canon Press, formerly known as the Shipping guy. He doesn’t do anything halfway. It’s either 150% or Frank’s not in it. He’s married to Sandy - quite a gem - and they make such a cute couple. Here’s the email invitation that went out from the kirk:
Mr. Frank Ewert: Tonight, March 20, at 6:45 pm
Committee: Mr. Douglas Jones, Mr. Ed Iverson, Mr. Jayson Grieser
Title: “Teammates: A Collection of Six Short Stories.”
Yes, these stories all center around Canada’s glorious game, but no, you shouldn’t have to be a hockey nut to enjoy them. Instead, my aim has been to write stories that focus on personality to grasp the reader’s attention and entertain him or her. If you don’t believe me, you should come to my defense: I’ll be reading at least one story there. If you’d like to come and want to read up beforehand, email me (*snip*), and I’ll send you the stories I won’t be reading at the defense (so that you don’t get lost in the middle of things).
Frank knocked it out of the park tonight. Hmmm…probably not a good comment for a hockey-loving, guy. There’s no shame in Frank’s fiction game. Well done, my friend.
