- Merci Martin,
I googled Longueuil and see that it has quite a history. As a person from the west – anything older than 100 years is very old!
I will give you a call.

- Congratulations on being an author of such an interesting book. I work with Jane Duncan as a writer/editor at the Calgary Fire Department Training Academy. Although I've been a professional writer for more than 15 years, I've never had a book published. You have my respect.
