the University of British Columbia ranks up there with the Colorado School of Mines. Although not a graduate of this British Columbia professional school, I am proud to be an alumnus of the campus where they are based. Graduates of this mining engineering school are the folks who produce real wealth from the earth’s geological resources. I think that circumstance is realized by people such as Rob McEwen and Keith Neumeyer, CEOs of my favorite mining companies. I thank UBC for maintaining this important trainig facility.
