Welcome to the World Sebastien Peter Doucet, Holiday Concert

Welcome to the World Sebastien Peter Doucet: On December 16th 2006 at about 4am (a time of the week that I sometimes find myself stumbling home from a night out with friends), planet earth became the official home of Sebastien Peter Doucet. He is the son of my brother Olivier and his partner, Marlene.


Proud father Olivier and son, Sebastien
What a name, isn't it? Actually, he gets his middle name from my father Peter Doucet. You see back in 1979, my family shrunk from 4 members to 3 members thanks to a tragic car crash which claimed my father's life. For twenty some-odd years, we were three in my family, and now, are numbers are back up with the addition of Sebastien and Marlene Wandel, my brother Olivier's partner in crime.

Sebastien currently lives in Thunder Bay, home of Hal Lightwood and Frank Luckai and family. What I am thinking, planning, plotting, is that Thunder Bay can become a mecca of roller speed skating in a few years. You see; I will let Olivier and Marlene enjoy the joys of parenthood through their love, committment, sacrifice, work, and growth. As I learn to become an awesome uncle, I will attempt to steer Sebastien into the virtiuous direction of roller speed skating- all this of course with the inevitable blessing of Sebastian's parents. It will follow that clubs, races, websites, companies, fans, officials, and volunteers will spring out of Thunder Bay.

I can't wait to meet you Sebastien; If you're reading this, uncle Pete's coming to Thunder Bay on December 24th to visit you! Oh and Hal- maybe we can go for a skate again? I can replace all those Hallowe'en chocolates I ate...yum.
