August 30th marks my final TVWeek column. I’m lightening my workload after 20 years and my replacement is Fred Lee (I don’t suppose they would call the column Fred Around Town).  Fred has been covering the community scene in Vancouver for years, and contributes on a regular basis to many publications including the National Post.  I wish him well and hope he continues to bring our community to life through his photos and his new column.

Rumors are flying that Fred Latremouille may leave his beach house in Tsawwassen for a new beach house on Prince Edward Island where he and wife Cathy vacationed this past month.   Fred tells me the beaches are some of the best he has ever seen, and believe me, he has seen the best.  Whatever his decision we wish him the best and oh, by the way, he is not giving up his property on Maui.  Smart man.
