In mid August I received a surprise phone call from Brad Woodside, Mayor of the City of Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. I have lived in Fredericton since 1980 when my family moved here from Hay ward, California, across the bay from San Francisco. Fredericton is a lovely town of about 50,000 people, Capital of the Picture Province of New Brunswick, and home of the University of New Brunswick, the oldest English Language University in Canada. Brad and I have run into each other around town and he has often commented about seeing me on various TV programs. I was frankly shocked when he asked if it would be okay for him and the City Council of Fredericton to proclaim Monday, August 27, "Stanton Friedman Day, to honour you and your career as a physicist and your notoriety as a UFO expert." A proclamation would be issued at the city council meeting that evening.
