Lorraine Paterson - Tour Manager

Lorraine “Mrs.” Paterson (aka TM and Chicky II) is our Tour Manager Extraordinaire, capably dragging our disorganized keesters from one end of North America to the other. She sees that we are fed, watered, rested, rev'ed, and generally spoiled like cream custards in the sun. She regularly hands out behavioural demerit points, creates tour books deserving of the Giller Prize, and acts as human GPS for our roster of bus drivers.
