On Tuesday night, 2 #PEI people I knew died. One was my mother's sister, Elaine MacLean. She knew seemingly everyone on the Island. Feisty. Longtime motorcyclist. And my longtime unofficial PEI publicity agent. She'll be missed.

So sorry to learn of Allan Andrews' death. I worked for Allan at the hockey school 1 summer almost 40 years ago. What sticks is his drive, his organization (all those binders!), but especially his love for the kids, the game, his family, everybody. cbc.ca/news/canada/pr…
