Today we have 5 time Canadian Champion and 40 time World Champion freestyle skier Mike Nemesvary on to discuss isolation. Mike has spent the last 35 years in a wheel chair. So isolation is nothing new to him.

Today’s guest is Dave’s daughter. Amelia is 19 years old and preparing to go to college in the fall.  She is a future fashion icon and a local TV personality on St. Andrews New Brunswick’s CHCO.

In general (so her dad tells me) she’s a good kid. She is currently at home in self quarantine and self confined to her bedroom trying to avoid her parents.
