Teacher's Convention--Gerry Dee

Last Thursday and Friday was the Calgary Teacher's Convention. On Friday morning Gerry Dee spoke  to a full house in the Macleod Hall at the Telus Convention Centre. Gerry Dee's one hour talk was based on his recent book TEACHING: IT'S HARDER THAN IT LOOKS. Gerry Dee is an award winning Canadian comic and star of the hit CBC series Mr. D. Every year he plays more than 150 sold out shows across Canada and internationally. Gerry Dee had the audience in stitches as he recalled his experiences as a physical education and social studies teacher in a private school in Ontario. At the end of his presentation, he entertained questions from the audience so I ventured to the microphone and asked him a question. We engaged in a short repartee. Later, I bought his book which entitled me to have a photo opportunity with Gerry Dee.
