CE @ HVC	Continuing Education at Hale Veterinary Clinic If you would be interested in a trip that combines salt-water fly fishing with dental continuing education, let me know. This is an idea in development and the more interest, the faster it will develop.
Kim Surette, RVT is back from her latest maternity leave as of January 2010. Welcome Back, Kim!	Kim with her boys. Lucas (middle) was born in April of 2009. Three-year-old Connor (right) is very happy to be a big brother.
Fraser's daughter, Marnie, with her new "boyfriend". Benny is a 4-yr-old thorough bred who did not make it as a race horse. Marnie is in the process of training him as a show jumper. Though he is still very young, he seems to have some potential and he is really sweet!
In March of 2009, Marnie traveled with her mother, Monica, to Belize. In the first photo, Marnie is posing with a spider monkey that came out of the jungle to accept a banana. In the second shot, Marnie is playing tag with the children of Indian Church Village.
Father and Son Adventure At the end of February, my son Will (age 21) and I enjoyed a fabulous week of salt-water fly-fishing in Cuba	Will to the left, our guides, Alfredo and Manolo (also father & son) and me to the right. Will with a fine Cuban bonefish.
In 2008 I participated in the Shore-to-Shore Relay. Our team come second in our age group and third overall. For some video of our adventures go to YouTube and enter 'Shore to Shore Downpour'. I am running under my alias, "Sandy" That's me to the far right in the team photo.
On October 24, 2004, Dr. Hale and his wife, Monica Forget, participated in the Casino Niagara Half-Marathon. Monica walked the 21.1 kms well under her goal of 3 hours and Dr. Hale ran it in 1:36. The satisfaction of setting a long-term goal, working toward it and then surpassing it is what makes life worth living.
As part of the Live-Fit course at school, Monica and Fraser's son Willy ran the Billy Taylor Memorial 15K in March of 2005 in very nasty conditions to take second place in his age group. That's Will in the gray toque. Our running mentor, Art is in the white and black cap at the far right.
Having walked a half marathon at well below her target pace, Monica was looking for a "what next". So she set her sights on running the 10K at the National Capital Marathon Event. As a warm-up, she ran the "Easy 5K" in Burlington on May 1, 2005 in 31 minutes. This is a major accomplishment since she only started running in February of 2005! Fraser ran the "Tough Ass Half Marathon" that day in 1:31:17 to take second place in his age group. Now on to the National Capital Marathon at the end of May!
Here's Monica running her first 10K run at the National Capital Race Weekend, May 28, 2005. She finished in a very respectable 1:05. And Fraser finishing the Marathon in 3:18:13 on May 29, 2005. The primary goal was to finish vertical and smiling. Mission Accomplished.
At the Veterinary Dental Forum in 2005, Dr. Hale was Awarded the Fellow of the Year by the Academy of Veterinary Dentistry.
