On a personal note... 
 
A professor from California State University has contacted the ACFI office as he is trying to reconnect with one of our members in regard to a film project he is working on.  The member is a forensic accountant in private practice with a daughter that is a big time ice hockey player who had been offered athletic scholarships to one or more US colleges. They met at UBC while both their daughters were touring that campus.
