My name is Donald Allan Waite, and I have a little story for you.

My wife, Debi, and I recently bought a condo, close to the inner harbour, in Victoria.  We bought a placemat, with an aerial photograph showing the inner harbour (Empress Hotel, Parliament Buildings, etc.), as well as our building.  We were delighted to have such a great shot of the area, so that we could show our friends the location of our condo.

After we arrived back at the condo that day, wife said to me, "Take a good look at this aerial photo, and tell me what you see.  There's something special about this picture."  I looked and looked, but couldn't figure out what she was talking about.  Then she pointed to the upper corner of the placemat where it said "photo by Waite Aerial Photos".  We thought it was a great coincidence and I went onto the internet, and found that you and I share the same name.

In my experience "Waite" is not a common name and I've never found a Don Waite, which is my name.  I thought you might enjoy this story.  We bought the placemat because we really liked the picture, but then found your name as an extra bonus.

I was born in Windsor, Ontario, in 1940, and have lived in Ontario most of my life.  We currently live in Markham and plan to spend part of the year in Victoria.  My family came from the area around London, Ontario.

Small world, isn't it?  

Best regards,

Don Waite
