Q and A with Helene LeBlanc

What is your favourite hobby or pastime?

When I have time, running. I`m an avid runner.

What historical figure you most identity with?

The author of Dead Men Do Tell Tales, William R. Maples. He may not be much of an historical figure, but he worked very hard and took many odd jobs in order to achieve his goals. I can relate with that.

Which living person do you most admire?

In my academic life; my mentor and friend, Gail Anderson. In my personal life; my mother.

Where do you like to vacation or spend your free time?

Back home in New Brunswick. It is a beautiful place… in the summer.

What do you consider to be your greatest achievement?

Other than my children, my vast international experience in the field of forensic entomology.

What is your favourite movie?

Men in Black! My husband hates it, but he kindly bought me all three movies (two sequels) last year.

What book are you reading at the moment?

Stalled: Jump-starting the Canadian Economy, by Michael Hlinka. I`m all over the place with books. I normally prefer fiction, but I`m open to just about anything.
