SvenGolly asked if it would write some kind of elegy for Canadian journalist/historian/author/television personality Pierre Berton. As I mentioned earlier,

similar American figure take part in; it’s of Pierre Berton explaining

Thank you, sir, both for the subject and for the mention... my first mention in the blogosphere. Makes me think I should start blogging myself, rather than just live vicariously through others. ;-)
Many thanks for the video clip as well. I'd heard about the segment on Monday Report, but hadn't seen it. Much appreciated! :-)
Cheers,
