Premier Shawn Graham

I am writing to once again congratulate you on having received the Order of New Brunswick and to tell you how much Roxanne and I enjoyed seeing you ant the dinner we hosted the night before the 2008 Order of New Brunswick Investiture Ceremony and Old Government House. As I mentioned that evening, I am in awe of your energy and of your sense of service. As a result of your hard work and commitment, you have created a better life not only for yourself but for your families, your neighbours, your communities; for which I humbly thank you. Your and your fellow recipients embody what makes this province so special and I am so pleased that we were able to celebrate you and the contributions you have made to New Brunswick and beyond. You will always serve as an inspiration to me and others.

Lucien’s Labour Lost

The sequel to Lucien, Lucien’s Labour Lost, premiered for Theatre New Brunswick in October of 1993. This second show has our anti-hero buying in to Frank McKenna’s dream of a self-sufficient entrepreneurial work force, able to leap tall buildings at a single bound—easier said than done. This show reflects the downsizing trends of the early 1990’s. Lucien is over forty, and for the first time in his life, mortality is raising its profound head. As in the first show,
I have attempted only to portray a working man from Northern New Brunswick.
