This is what #dbs gave me and it gets better, even after 4 years since my surgery. I’m surprised by it a lot, it’s a gift from the #nhs. It’s not a cure but a reprieve from #parkinsons after 12 yea res. Keep pushing and keep trying. U never know

A true Canadian troubadour. I had the pleasure of introducing my wife Jenny to Mr Lightfoot when he performed at the Imperial Theatre in Saint John. A real gentleman and a great musician.

A new role but still here! After 13 years hosting CBC New Brunswick supper hour news, it's time to hand the baton to colleague Rachel Cave. Parkinson's is tightening its grip on my voice, but as long as I can talk I'll continue to tell stories and be part of CBC News in NB.
