From our Montreal Terminal<br />
Well, another quarter passed and business is booming as<br />
usual. Montreal terminal exceeds its hopes once again with<br />
hard work, dedication and Jaun Valdez (Columbian coffee,<br />
you know, the guy with the donkey). With the substantial<br />
increase of weight transported both in and out of the area<br />
that Montreal services, many new positions were needed.<br />
Fred Montbriand traded in his work boots for a shiny new<br />
computer mouse becoming O. S. & D. assistant and Bob<br />
Mainville joined our nighttime dispatch and routing team.<br />
New drivers include, Sylvain Langlois, Dominique Vennes,<br />
Gary Morin, Bruce James, Robert Smith, Sam Tsellos, Brian<br />
Anderson and Paul Bleau. New dock personnel include Luis<br />
Sandoval, Patrice Pukteris, Jason Moorhead, Darryl Murray<br />
and Kevin McWilliams. I would also like to welcome Ron<br />
Andrews back to our US division. Welcome and good luck to<br />
everyone!<br />
On July 6, 2002, we held our 8th annual golf<br />
tournament at the beautiful Bellevue golf club. We all<br />
enjoyed the sunny weather and good company. There were<br />
48 in attendance. Denis Tremblay from Quebec City was in<br />
charge of photos and did an excellent job of it. I must also<br />
mention that Richard Dèziel, Lucky Luc’s brother, shot a hole<br />
in one (if it was Luc, I’d say it was fixed), which made his<br />
team quite proud. Richard got his picture in the journal de<br />
Montreal newspaper and was presented with a special<br />
memento from the golf course during supper. Speaking of<br />
supper it was a delicious meal, very filling, as half a chicken<br />
with trimmings would be. We also wish to thank everyone<br />
who donated great prizes. <strong>Erb</strong> <strong>Transport</strong> also contributed<br />

largely to the event. A special thank you goes to Scott Jones<br />
for his hard work in organizing this event. Hope to see<br />
everyone again next year.<br />
Our employee appreciation BBQ was a hit as usual<br />
(except for the torrential down pour, we were going to file a<br />
building permit, but there was no “ark” category) held on<br />
May 31, 2002. Everyone enjoyed the great food (burgers<br />
and tube steaks), and the surprising part was we actually got<br />
work done in the midst of everything. Or, I should say we<br />
made it look good as Wendell, Tim and Kevin were around.<br />
(Just make sure nobody tells them that okay!) Along with<br />
that we also had Scott Steckly’s cascar and pit crew on<br />
display, as well as, <strong>Erb</strong> sponsored Jean-Sebatien<br />
DeBellefeuille, Alain Gautier’s nephew who is 10 yrs old and<br />
races his 65 and 80 cc dirt bikes under the number 107. He<br />
recently placed 7th in an open class race involving 40<br />
participants! Thank you to everyone involved in the day’s<br />
events, and no we didn’t forget about your culinary<br />
excellence, Clayton.<br />
I’m rambling on (as usual) so I probably should wrap things<br />
up for now by saying thank you again to everyone involved<br />
in making “another cool move” (I just had to slip that in<br />
there somewhere)!<br />
Until next time!<br />
