October Newsletter: Saying Goodbye to a Legend

Hi Friends,

Hope you are having a decent fall so far. Sadly, September marked the
unfortunate passing of a comedian who I was very fortunate to work with
a number of years ago at Roy Thomson Hall. She was wonderful.
I, especially, loved her one liners.
 

JOAN RIVERS

‘Looking fifty is great – if you’re sixty.’
‘My vagina is like Newark. Men know it’s there, but they don’t want to visit.’
Thanks again CTV News Channel for letting me share my thoughts about the passing of Joan Rivers, recently. Such a trailblazer! ( *be patient when you click on the clip.)
