I was in the same row in the next isle about 15 empty chairs between me and him. He talked freely and like his normal self when asked about financing saying there was an option to put the monies together through private guy's indicating also financial institutions, but he did not show the ya ya uppity up, my feeling is that the monies is not the issue it's the Attn holding things up. I glanced his direction when Chuck was speaking and also on occasion when he was not. My observation is that Chuck is aging, remember that he worked like a wild man in his younger years, I assume if anyone has invested in the man they have read Fire into Ice. He was wearing a loose fitting shirt looked to me that he has gained a fair bit of wait around the midsection could just be good living, I would expect that if he was sick he maybe underweight ? I noticed his hands shaking somewhat like you see some people when they have the onset of Parkinson's, but that has been there for some time I seem to recall. His feet were going a bit too however but only on occasion. I exited earlier and as I walked past him he acknowledge me and I thought I could sense some pain in his facial expressions. Did Chuck stay around after the meeting or head right out?
Thanks Carter for giving some color to the recent AGM. Perhaps, Chuck's mood was down because of Bill Bennet's grave situation who died days later. We don't know...but...Report by Leah Scheitel - The Free Press posted Dec 10, 2015 at 8:00 AM "...Former British Columbia premier, Bill Bennett, passed away on Dec. 3. Bennett, who suffered from Alzheimers, was 83 years old. Bennett was elected premier in 1975 and was re-elected in both 1979 and 1983. He remained in the premiers office until 1986. News of Bennetts illness was made public two years ago. A family friend, Charles Fipke, made a $3 million donation to the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health in Bennetts name". [in 2014, he also donated $9 million to the UBC Alzheimer Research Centre]
