So sad to hear this news about Virginia Greene, the former head of the Business Council of B.C. I met Virginia years ago at a party, not having a clue who she was. We spent half the evening swapping stories about dealing with difficult teenagers.
Her utter frankness about how hard it was (she didn’t have kids but had taken in a young woman who needed a refuge) and her nonetheless-positive attitude bolstered me for weeks. In subsequent years, it was always a pleasure to call her for a story and get her tough, thoughtful appraisals.
It’s a loss for all of us that she’s gone.
