Mr. Robert Murray retired from the Royal Canadian Navy after a distinguished Naval career predominantly oriented at flying helicopters, many of them in SIKORSKY 55877, pictured here. These helicopters were initially assigned to ant-submarine squadron and then used in search and rescue operations. Mr. Murray was at the Canadian Aviation and Space Museum on Canada Day giving visitors a history on the aircraft and their role in the Royal Canadian Navy from 1955-1980
Chris Hadfield is a veteran astronaut and former CF-18 fighter pilot and has taken part in of two space missions, STS-100 in 2001 and STS-74 in 1995. During STS-100, he spent 11 days aboard the International Space Station and became the first ever Canadian to perform a spacewalk as he installed the Canadian robotic arm, the Canadarm2, onto the Station. For his first mission back in 1995, he flew to the Russian Space Station Mir, and operated the shuttle robotic arm, the Canadarm.
Here he is giving a talk about his experiences with the CF-18 fighter jet.

Justin was my nephew and the most honest and caring person we could ever have known. His brave and long battle was an inspiration to us all as he never seemed to want to give up. He always tried to see the good side of things. We will never forget him.
Tonight at 8 P. M., Justin will undergo a double lung transplant.
Please keep him and his family in your prayers as he continues his fight with Cystic Fibrosis.
Hang in there Justin!
For last weekend’s broadcast, Anthony Mason of CBS Sunday Morning interviewed Timothy about Match Prints at his New York City studio. The 5-minute segment also includes an interview with the late Jim Marshall, who is shown photographing Bruce Springsteen, as well as footage from the book signing at the John Varvatos store in Soho and the “Match Prints” exhibition opening earlier this year at Staley-Wise Gallery (watch for an appearance by Glenn Close).
I was contacted late last week to help document the launch of Ottawa’s newest radio station, EZ Rock, 99.7 on the dial.
EZ Rock is the newest station in Astral Media’s stable and I was honoured to be asked to cover this extremely fun event. Special thanks to Marc Desrosiers for including me in this project. Thank buddy!
The event was held at the gorgeous Lago Bar and Grill at the Dows Lake Pavilion on Thursday May 27, 2010 with celebrity look-a-likes Tina Turner, Rod Stewart and Madonna on hand.
To help celebrate the event, The Boogie Wonder Band kept the place dancing all night long.
