Take a moment to remember: Kenneth Thomson (1923-2006)
My mother was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland in a very difficult time for the world. She taught me that we all make a difference.
So in keeping with that thought and a call she just made to me. This blog entry is about a man named Kenneth Thomson (1923-2006). You probably don't know it, but tomorrow (September 29th at 11am at Roy Thomson Hall) in Toronto, the family that is the controlling shareholder in the world's largest information resource company (Thomson Corporation), is holding a memorial service for Kenneth Thomson. His company is one of your windows onto the world for information, and in my space, financial compliance. A small thing that we had in common, is that we both went to the same high school. Isn't the world a small and beautiful place?
If you don't know who he was, don't worry about it. He was always a private person with big responsibilities. He ran a great business. He is from a great family and was a great family man. We wish the best to his family. His memory remains with us.
