Now let us start our interview with Max.
Max, could you please tell us a little bit about yourself, personal and professional?
What is your personal background?
I was born near Cardiff in South Wales, UK. This is noteworthy because, unbeknownst to me until only a few months ago, my grandfather started an Anglo-French society there that just last November held its centenary celebration. By happy coincidence, the current secretary of the society spotted my name on the Internet, sent me an Email – one of those long shots – and so I was able to supply early family history and photographs to put on display at the function. By even greater coincidence, this society member has a brother in Vancouver located only a few blocks away from me and, further, had arranged a visit here so we were able to meet in person. The fact that I founded the local PMI chapter suggests that this society creation thing must be something in the genes!
