Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this weekend, I had the opportunity to drive the new Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway to Tuktoyaktuk to take part in a celebration of a hundred years for Mrs. Persis Gruben. It was actually a great celebration put on by the family for a great lady that got a great story. I enjoyed listening to all the stories there.
I want us to thank the people of Tuktoyaktuk for their great hospitality. I also want to say Hi to Sandy and Mary, who informed me that they watch us a lot on TV, so I’m sure they are watching today. It was a fantastic celebration. I think they had family from all over the place, as far away as from Indiana, from what I can gather. Many of them told a lot of stories about Persis that they remembered when they were younger.
It was a great celebration. I was glad that I was able to be a part of it. I thank the people again of Tuktoyaktuk for their great hospitality. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
