I missed being a birthday buddy with Adams by one day, who knew. It's ok though, official Coolest Old Dude Ever Ollie Johnston and I share a birthday. :D

1995: QUEBEC SEPARATISTS NARROWLY DEFEATED

Seared into my memory, tbh. I remember watching the PM address the country about the referendum during the dinner hour and freaking out, because that's something that just DIDNT happen, in Canada (I always equated 'State of the Nation' televised address with US politics).
