I had met him about six months previously when I had arrived in London and left my resume with his office. He told me that the Thompson Org. was getting involved in setting up TV stations in developing countries and that they wanted a Canadian style look to the operations. They didn’t want a CBC model but one that was similar to the independent commercial stations in Canada.

I said thanks but no thanks. But I gave him the name of a Brit who worked with me in Calgary and who was now back in England.
