From Mike Shaw

Arland, Your involement with the disability community in Winnipeg shows a great amount of care in your heart for that group. You have a leadership quality, and people tend to follow you the more they know you. What has been the best "non-football" lesson you have learned since coming to Canada, and living in Winnipeg and S.W Ontario? Lose Yourself and Be Great!!

YES, SIR I STRIVE TO REACH OUT TO THOSE WHO HAVE A DRIVE, AMBITION, OR GOALS ON THIS HUGE WORLD WE CALL EARTH. I JUST HOPE FOR THE BEST FOR INDIVIDUALS LIKE YOUR-SELF AND MR. CLARKE. BECOME GREAT. BLESSINGS.

From Sandi Granahan

Hi Arland, We met several times in '07 at the Grey Cup festivities here in Toronto. I'm wondering if you miss Toronto? We certainly miss you here and now that there will be a big change in management, would you ever consider coming back? I have to admit that Hamilton is a great place for fan support and you have a great coach! I want to wish you a very Happy New Year and every happiness in 2010!!! Sandi

HELLO, MS G, WELL 2010 CAME SO QUICKLY. I WILL ALWAYS REP T.DOT. WHEN I FIRST CAME TO THE CFL IN '01 TORONTO WAS A PLACE I WANTED TO PLAY FOR. ITS ACTUALLY THE FIRST STADIUM I SCORED MY 1ST CFL TOUCHDOWN. WOW! I LOVE THE GAME SO MUCH I WILL SUIT UP FOR ANY TEAM. IT IS A PRIVELAGE TO PLAY PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL; OR ANY SPORT. BE GREAT!
