Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Throughout my 40 plus years of knowing and working with Bill that has been his role, be it in business, the community, socially, you name it, it is Bill who brings everyone together. At 80 plus years I still think he's only enhancing his ambassador role.

If anyone was put on this earth to fulfill the role of ambassador, defined as the 'highest ranking diplomat,' that person would be Bill Strong.

We're reactive right now, in the sense that we are in a lot of ways waiting for the companies to come to us. Instead, we need to have someone out there, pressing the flesh, making Ottawa known to the world.

We have survived. There is plenty of living to do.

It's emotional when you see everyone walking in a group of survivors.
