June 14, 2017 was an auspicious day for Darryl Raymaker’s launch of Trudeau’s Tango: Alberta Meets Pierre Elliott Trudeau, 1968–1972. The sun shone as some 200 guests shared a celebratory evening at The Ranchmen’s Club.
The room was full and Darryl was in fine form, with daughter Nicole and son Derek there to help mark his achievement. Son Patrick prepared a terrific slideshow for the event, which was appreciated by the crowd.
We were all thinking of Darryl’s wife, Pat, who passed away this spring. Darryl dedicated the book to her: “To the memory of my wife Pat (1944–2017), for her unswerving loyalty, support, and wise counsel through our arduous but happy and fascinating fifty years of adventures as Alberta Liberals.”
The staff of the University of Alberta Press wishes to express their appreciation for everyone’s support of the event and of the book.
