Thank you for coming to my rescue. – OLS, 2020

Wow, you’re telling me that WAS a kick ass presentation.  Awesome. Thanks you so much!  It was so informative and will really balance what the students are learning in their other classes. – Professor, University of Guelph, 2020

I have to say, you instilled in me that it’s better to fully explore a problem than jump to a conclusion and sticking to it.  It’s appreciated. – BCLS, 2020

Awww...thank you! thank you!! thank you!!! I am short of words. You’re the best 😊 – Nunavut Land Administrator, 2020

Thanks Brian, much appreciated. You’ve given sound confirmation to my hunch. – ALS, 2020

First off – amazing document, that deserves a lot more of my time to digest fully. – Ontario CLS, 2020

Thank you again for doing the webinar and for answering all of the questions.  That was the most questions that we have received for a webinar. – ALSA, 2020

Thanks so much for attending to my needs again this weekend … And thanks for your observations, very good. – BCLS, 2020

Thanks Brian, I appreciate the visit and the discussion. And I will include your follow-up comments in our Knowledge Base here for posterity – British Columbia Land Title & Survey Authority, 2020

I can’t say enough what a professional and personal pleasure it has been to work with you … Through that process I learned much, not least of which were an understanding of your comprehensive knowledge and experience in diverse fields, your outstanding ability to communicate important concepts – you were at your best doing so when confronted by “the unwilling” and “the uneducated” – and perhaps most important of all, your honourable character as a man and a fellow professional, a person who did not and would not compromise about the important things to suit benighted “smaller” minds and ill-informed agendas. I am grateful for and will always remember the experience of working with you … I came to appreciate not only your professional gifts as an academic, a teacher, a lawyer and an expert witness in your chosen fields, but perhaps more importantly, your unfailing sense of humour, your appreciation of the absurd and your glass-half-full approach to life. – DOJ lawyer, 2019

Awesome, because a somewhat dry subject matter was converted into an engaging, entertaining, so-easy-to-absorb piece. As I start addressing our brief I am very aware of the talent required to make that happen. – DOJ lawyer, 2019

You were kind enough to share a copy of this report with me a few years ago. I find myself referring to your text again for some insight on the use of water marks vs water levels.  I just thought I’d let you know how useful this text is, and how pleasant it is to read. The trigger for my writing is that I just noticed that the opening of Chapter 3 on non-tidal boundaries manages to use a quote from Hunter S. Thompson. Kudos! It’s actually a remarkably appropriate quote – albeit from an unlikely source. – Ontario Professional Engineer, 2019

I've been enjoying your 2016 "Shadowlands" water boundaries monograph – British Columbia watershed modeler, 2019

I had a read it and it is a great background on informality … I do like what this paper is evolving into and appreciate your collaboration … Thank-you for all the great feedback. – PhD candidate, University of Waterloo, 2019

Thank you for your analysis, it assists in identifying some of the more problematic findings of “fact.” – DOJ lawyer, 2019.

Great seminar by the way. – British Columbia Land Title & Survey Authority, 2018

I should mention that we got a great kick out of reading your intro to chapter 3 of Shadowland re: Hunter S. Thompson.  Looking forward to working with you. – British Columbia lawyer, 2018

Wow... thanks Brian. Pleased that [we have] such a thorough and well-documented investigation. – Nunavut CLS, 2016

I am very glad you agreed to give an opinion on this case, [Alberta Land Titles] and I have agreed to accept your decision and I to pay your consultant fee. – Alberta landowner, 2018
