Ross Quigley Karen Huestis Christopher Davidge Peter Prusa Paula McGovern Fran Castricone SUMMER 2020 | ISSUE 115 CONTRIBUTING EDITORS We acknowledge the support of the Government of Canada. A Merv Magus Illustrator tumultuous travel season is now behind us and it is time to look forward to living our dreams, once again. Medipac was with you all the way last year and they will be doing the same again this year. COVID-19 medical claims WILL be covered by their Early Bird insurance programs and they would never cancel your policy in the middle of its term. Some small premium increases were obviously necessary, but purchasing through the Early Bird program will help to offset these with substantial discounts for loyal clients and for your claim-free years of travel. And, of course, the traditional 5% Early Bird discount still applies. The borders to the United States and most other countries are now open, or will be opening very soon, and we are free to travel again. My wife Pat and I have already booked our river cruise for next year and we are looking forward to our annual winter vacation to Florida in late November. We must all still be very careful of this nasty virus until it burns itself out, or until we find the magic bullet to kill it. Please wash your hands frequently, keep your distance from other people and wear a mask when in crowds. These are very minor things to do, in order to stay safe and happy and healthy. Have a wonderful summer. Sincerely, J. Ross Quigley Editor CSANews | SUMMER 2020 | 3
