Thank you Joe!! As reported below, at the Friends’ annual meeting on June 21 Joe Gill stepped down as our long-time chair and will serve instead as our Treasurer. For a decade Fort York, this city and the Friends of Fort York have benefitted from Joe’s selfless dedication and tireless energy. His skills, enthusiasm, persistence, and creativity have been central to many of our successes. Working with officials, fort staff, volunteers and his fellow directors, he has used persuasion and encouragement to build respect and support for Fort York. His involvement has been critical to many of our most important accomplishments. The high level of cooperation found today among the fort’s stakeholders speaks of his infectious commitment and ability to engage the interests, skills and energies of others. His leadership has given the Friends strength and credibility to meet the opportunities and challenges ahead. In all of this, he has had the wonderful support of his wife and selfless partner, Jane. Many thanks, Joe and Jane, for your inspiration and friendship. George Waters
