I have always admired Joanne Kilgour. I remember, as a young man, seeing her do a breast examination tutorial for either the Ministry of Health or the Cancer Society and I was struck by her spirit and courage, doing something like that in a society such as ours, in that time period. She was actually my first female heroine.
