Unflappable John: May You Stay Forever Young (Murray MacAdam)

Nation to Nation:  The book that John,
Lorraine and Murray edited together

I’ve known John for 30 years, and have been blessed to work with him in various contexts, most memorably on the Aboriginal issues anthology  Nation to Nation (where he met Lorraine...but I digress). 

What’s always struck me is how calm and unflappable John always is, including in difficult or tense circumstances. That says a lot about John.

My favourite memory is of coming up to Bobcaygeon and seeing the look of delight on John’s face as he strummed his ukulele.

In the words of the Venerable Sage, Mr. Zimmerman: May you stay forever young.

Murray MacAdam
