The Telegram’s Saturday edition carried a profile of Lieutenant Colonel Perry Grandy.
For those of us who know Perry, Alex Brannan’s description hits it squarely on the head:
“I have soldiered with him on a deployment. … He is a great role model who tears down obstacles so that others can advance. He sets the standard for staff work. He has an insatiable appetite for analyzing, preparing and executing plans,” Brennan said.
Brennan said Grandy is driven by the understanding that well-prepared plans reduce the chances for casualties.
“Canada is fortunate to have him and I am proud to count him as a friend. He is an asset to his employer and to our province.”
The word you’d use to sum up all those qualities and more is: Perry
And for those who know the men and women of the Canadian Forces Primary Reserve, the word that comes to mind is: typical.
