Thank you for your informed view of Wayne Easter, his character and competence.

I only lived a year on PEI in my grade 12 year in Summerside (my dad was a pilot at the air base that used to be there) and it was a great year for me including being the rock DJ on CJRB (now The Spud FM).

But my mom was born and raised in Charlottetown, my great uncle was an MP for 22 years in the Queens riding and was succeeded by Angus McLean later premier of PEI and I was privileged to know Angus.

And I spent a couple of summers on my other uncle's farm as a kid and have visited several other times (mostly in summer, LOL).

All of which is a long winded way of saying I know The Island a bit and like it and also know that Islanders are often special and real people as Wayne Easter seems to be.

P.S.  If I'm still above ground next summer, I intend to visit PEI once again.
