The Left-handed Governor

A couple of days ago the Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia graced our camp with her presence. She is the highest-ranking official in the province! She gave a great talk to the girls, and all the pomp and ceremony was kind of fun. There was a great deal of confusion beforehand about who she was and how to pronounce her title. One of the staff thought she was the Left-handed governor, and Carole and I kept calling it Lieutenant like it's spelled (we blame our American education!) It all worked out in the end and all of the students remembered to call her "Your Honour" during Q & A time. We even managed to get a twin picture with her!
