Cathcart now has his own town!


By Jim Cathcart

OK, everyone who has their own city or town please raise their hand. 
Yep, that would be me holding up my hand. 
Yesterday I got a fun envelope in the mail. My colleague Neil Dempster, a speaker from 
Scottsdale, Arizona sent photos from his recent trip to Canada. He had driven through the tiny town of Cathcart, Ontario on his way to a speaking engagement. 
Being the generous guy that he is, he searched for a place in Cathcart to buy a disposable camera so he could send me a picture. Seems they haven't grown quite large enough yet to have a place where one could buy a camera, so Neil drove to the next town and returned to take the photos you see here. 

So, the next time you are in Ontario, Canada please stop in and tell the fine folks in Cathcart that I said "Hello". I plan to make a trek to Cathcart myself as soon as I can. 

BTW, for those who are into genealogy and heraldry, Cathcart started as a place in Scotland. 
It was a castle (Cath) by the Cart River in Glasgow. We went there years ago and traced our family roots. The family's motto is "I hope to Speed." (Me too.) 

Happy travels everyone, may you discover your own town soon.
