Thought provoking message from Robert Bateman
I (Beth Campbell) met Robert Bateman way back around 1975 when he was a member of the Niagara Escarpment Commission with my father-in-law, JP Johnstone. I think that he was still teaching school back then. From what I remember, he has always been passionate about saving our environment.
A truly great artist and a truly great man!
