I find that VANOC head John Furlong's defense strategy -- the best defense is offense -- is unconvincing.
In an extensive memoir, albeit ghost-written by a Globe and Mail staffer, and many motivational addresses, the Burns Lake sojourn of Mr. Furlong has never come to light, though he makes a big deal about his immigration greeting to Prince George five years later.
I can understand wanting to forget five years from your late teens, but to suppress it strongly suggests concealment.
