Afternoon with Bert

It was an all-Ontario gabfest yesterday as Chapman and I and our kids had the pleasure of lunching with Dr. Bert Mitchell (Ontario Veterinary College, ’64), and then visiting with his wife Linda at their home in Sarasota, Florida, yesterday.

Among other achievements, Bert was Director of the Bureau of Veterinary Drugs at Health Canada from 1982-1988, and an associate director at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Veterinary Medicine from 1988-2001.

We shared stories, spoiled the kids, and deeply enjoyed the company. You’ll notice from the pic that Bert is the fittest of us three.
