Favorite AMA memory?
"My favorite AMA memory is from CMA AGM in PEI; it was the AMA Social.
"After a short walk through the woods we arrived at an expansive sandy beach with sun wine (in real glasses) and a charcuterie table bar none. Good friends, good times in a five-star nature setting. It was organized by Ron Kustra, then Director of AMA Public Affairs. It was the most perfect event ever."
