Interviewer: Anne you received the Queens Jubilee medal, can you share that story with us?
Yes I was very pleased, it is a very special thing, I thought. Anyhow that it was a surprise to me to begin with because I thought somebody who did a lot more things like politicians and things receive those kind of things, but in my case I'm certainly not politically inclined in anyway. But when I was first told that I would be receiving it and the member of parliament was supposed to present it to me, but he wasn't to be in Drumheller ‘til the day after the council met in Drumheller. So I convinced him that the mayor of Drumheller should present it to me and he did and it was a wonderful experience. After he presented it to me he said "To hell with the handshake!" and gave me a bear hug, and that's much better I think.
