The following is about Bert's granddaughter Laura and her Envirothon teammates.
Laura recently was also awarded a $26,000 President's Award from the
University of Guelph where she will be studying Engineering in the fall.


Yesterday, his granddaughter Laura and her Envirothon
teammates were featured in the Toronto Star. Their school team won the
Provincial Envirothon competition in May (held in St. George, ON),
eliminating close to 10,000 participants in Ontario. Tonight, they are
heading down to North Carolina for a week (all expenses paid since they
were the Ontario champions), to compete in the North American Envirothon.
Each province and each state is represented by a 5-member team, and top
prize is a $5,000US scholarship for each team member. The competition
tests their skills and knowledge on all aspects of the enviroment, and they
are also required to develop and present a solution to a biodiversity
issue. Here is the article in the Star:

Thanks for posting, read this and went to my email. Low and behold, I
had a note from him too! What a proud grandpa! I would be too. :)


Laura's team is all women, I have to say that makes me so proud.
