English 101

Modern technology is a wonderful thing. It has allowed us to reconnect with people from our long ago's and answered many a 'I wonder what happened to so-and-so?'. I have been lucky to find people from my old neighborhood, elementary school, high school and past jobs and it has been great fun catching up with people I thought I would never see again.

Facebook put me back in touch with my grade 10 English teacher. Miss Golfman was a young, pretty and fashionable addition to the group of adults who were put to the task of molding my young mind. I looked forward to her class, knowing it would be interesting and entertaining. While she had a no nonsense approach to the material she presented, you would often find her smile lighting up her face. Miss Golfman, along with a few other beloved English teachers, were the matchmakers that led to my love affair with the written word.

Last Friday, I had the chance to thank Miss Golfman in person. She had messaged me and suggested we meet during her trip to the city; I was only too pleased to accept. We caught up over lunch and I was delighted to see that her smile still makes a regular appearance on a face that has barely changed in the past (dare I say it?) thirty-four years. I was glad for the opportunity to tell Miss Golfman how much I had appreciated her as a teacher. I know I'm not the only one of her students to feel that way.

I drove her to her next engagement and as she hopped out of my car, she clued me in to why she had wanted to see me. I'm holding on to that but she made my day in a big way.

Thanks, Miss Golfman. For everything.  xox

Gary Brownrigg - Stat Transport

Imagine you or your company have some palettes of merchandise, a slew of boxes or a machine that need to be delivered from here to there. Wondering who to call? Well, meet Gary!

I was recently introduced to Gary Brownrigg, yet another RHS alum (class of 1977). Gary has since shown himself to be a very outgoing and funny man; he also happens to be very hardworking and smart as a whip. In addition to all that, Gary owns and operates a transport company, Stat Transport.


After working as a driver for major companies for over 30 years, Gary started his own business in 2006. Given his experience behind the wheel, Gary knows this city like the proverbial back of his hand. While he has had opportunities to expand, he prefers to run and work for the company solo. A man who cares about his clients and their business, he believes in offering his customers a personalized and high quality service, one that covers the greater Montreal area. Stat Transport also operates under the same umbrella along with four other companies, allowing Gary to ensure you a very positive outcome.


Stat Transport is not a courier company. Gary does not deliver envelopes, nor is he the man to call if you're moving. Stat Transport is the company for same day transport service of merchandise ranging from a single palette to 25,000 pounds. Stat Transport offers competitive rates; Gary's prices have remained the same (so far), despite the rising gas prices.


So the next time you need something delivered - delivered safely, promptly and professionally, remember Gary. You'll be satisfied ... and you'll be back!
