As I opened the envelope from the David Suzuki Foundation, I told Debbie that it was probably a letter and/or gift sent to thank Trooper for our donation of royalties from a new, limited edition, "green" Trooper greatest hits CD. It wasn't. Instead, it was a mass-mailed magazine, called "BC's Bountiful Sea". Later, eating my lunch, I paged through the beautifully produced publication. On page thirteen I noticed a familiar photograph. Under the shot of an eagle perched atop a Prince Rupert totem was the photo credit: Ra McGuire.

I received a request months ago asking if a few of the pictures I've posted at Flickr could be used, for free, in a Suzuki Foundation promotion. I said sure - and then forgot all about it.
