Greetings Walrus

You're a fascinating read and keep up the good work.

Just a congratulations and thanks for publishing in your December issue the great article on John Meier and his tremendous interest in collecting the GG winners since 1936.

It's amazing that a private collector takes on such a task of love while our own national archives - it would appear - doesn't promote and trumpet such achievement.

I only hope someone is paying attention and our Canadian writers who have toiled in the literary trenches are one day gathered together in a triumphant collection of prose.

Hopefully former Governor General Adrienne Clarkson - who demonstrated such interest by seeking out Meier - is lobbying for a national collection. And may we not forget - as Meier points out - the importance of such a collection of GG poetry winners as well.
