Stu Hodgson - A Gracious & Tall Man
Saturday, December 19, 2015
I have photographed many politicians, CEOs, etc but one of
the most gracious in my memory was Stu Hodgson. I knew him as head of the BC
Ferries Corporation. I was assigned to photograph him by Vancouver Magazine
many years ago. I met up with him in transit to Victoria. He was very tall and
looking down on me with a big smile he asked me, “How do you like my ferry?”
Coming from this man it was not presumptuous in the least. He was genuinely proud
of his ships.
About ten years after I photographed him I saw him gassing up at a station on 41st and Granville. He spotted me and came up to me and asked me,"How are you Alex?"
Stu Hodgson died yesterday.
