I had a wonderful time at the ROF dinner. A special thanks to Ken for organizing such a wonderful event. Another special thanks to Hoov for his hospitality room. I only wish I had more clear water to drink rather than the red water that had the alcohol in it, but it sure was more fun drinking that!
I was tremendously impressed that Wes Hanson and Paul Semple came out to this function and graced us with their words. Wes and Jeremy will be in NY on Monday at the show. With family commitments, a big show on Monday, I am especially impressed with Wes to take the time to surprise us with his visit.
I enjoyed seeing some of the posters again and also meeting some of the posters I did not meet before. At the table I sat at, we all agreed that we have this warm sensation in our hearts. A feeling that we are going to be a part of history in the making through Noront Resources. Our future is bright and one day the WHOLE WORLD will know about Noront Resources. I feel this tingling sensation when I look at my recently updated ROF map that Joanne Jobin sent to me shortly before she left. I look at the massive land package of Noront around that wonderful ring. I think of all the discoveries in a relative short period of time and the discoveries to come. I think of the MINE. A REAL MINE.
I think of how the risk has been removed. I can now understand what my previous co-worker, Tony, felt when he stepped through RIM's Waterloo office in 1998. He held that Blackberry in his hands and had the exquisite pleasure to play with it before you or I even knew of it's existence and it's impact worldwide. It still haunts me today that I could have bought RIM for 83 cents in the FALL of 1998. The FALL of 1998 when the risk was removed. I didn't buy any shares.....because of the low price . The low price did not make sense to me then. It sure does now.
Thank you Noront for giving me a second chance. It's funny how life can turn the tables.
I now feel like my co-worker Tony, only I'm a girl and twelve years have gone by. I carry my ROF map, speak to whoever will listen to me, much like Tony did after his RIM visit. But now I have the shares much like Tony did after his RIM visit. One day people will remember me and my map much like I still think of Tony. I think of his bulging eyes, his shrillish voice and his sweaty armpits on the afternoon he came back after his RIM visit. I remember his excessive excitement and the excessive sweat. Don't get me wrong. This guy always had the wet underarm stains on his shirt. Always. But, it was after this meeting at RIM that he literally soaked his shirt. A dry spot was not to be seen. Yet, I only paid attention to the share price of RIM. I didn't buy any shares. The price and volume was not attractive to me. Back then, I preferred buying high and selling low.
I am waiting for part 2 of Tony's world. The day Noront is a household word. I'll be able to think..."my God I was a part of that."
Have a wonderful Sunday everyone. Before I forget, I while I stared at the ceiling at the banquet hall at Hidden Valley....I realized what would have made the evening complete. This wonderful ROF event. I visualized a big Pinata of Dundee hanging by a wire and all of us taking turns with a baseball bat. Sharing in the candy once the blessed event happened.
Cheers to all.
