Fahey, MD, Memorial North American Traveling Fellowship (NATF) caught glimpses of each other in airports while connecting to various flights. Finally, we made formal introductions in the Saskatoon International Airport after a seemingly exhaustive interview by the Canadian Border Control. We all greeted and got to know each other briefly in the airport while comparing our web searches of each other to our real impressions.
