Alice Anne is a good friend. We met in 1964, when we both moved into the same apartment complex close to the Medical School, Alice Anne a pediatric resident and Ken a resident in internal medicine. We have been good friends ever since even though we moved from Galveston in 1970.
Once when she was visiting us in Nova Scotia, we drove down to Brier Island, specifically to take the boat trip out to see the whales and the puffins. Every motel was full, except for one room with two beds, so we took it. Alice Anne was so keen to see those puffins that she was willing to sleep in the same room with us. First thing the next morning, we were up bright and early to catch the boat at 7:00 only to find that the trip was cancelled due to fog and heavy seas. Alice Anne has yet to see her puffin. Perhaps next time she visits us we will plan to stay in Brier Island two or three days, so the weather can clear up.
We have had a wonderful time here with her, touring the island and hearing of the destruction done by Ike. But the best part was seeing her home, all light and bright and lovely. You can't beat good taste and money and you can't beat getting together with good friends.
