An excerpt from “Calgary journalist’s fiance mourns love of his life“,
“It didn’t take long for Lang and Louie to fall in love.
They met in Calgary at a group dim sum gathering, knowing their mutual friend thought they should date.
They did a few weeks later, talking effortlessly for three hours at a cocktail bar, he recalled.
“The conversation never stopped and it was never awkward. It was at that moment I was like wow, she’s kind of amazing,” he said of their first date 18 months ago.
Lang was smitten by Louie, said her friend Robin Summerfield, the subject of Lang’s matchmaking.
After Lang and Louie were together for six weeks, Summerfield teased her friend about the new romance and asked whether she was in love.
“You know, I think I am,” she told Summerfield, a former Herald reporter.”

Dear Michelle,
Like many others, I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting you. And now I can only get to know you through the beautiful digital footprint you’ve left us. Your work ethics, deep dedication to journalism and high standard are what I will aspire to achieve when I do my own reporting.
Love,
Kempton
