here is bernard poulin. dr.-probably the first time anybody calls you that--i'm not going to ask you for medical advice, but i am going to congratulate you on this degree. and of course i know you as bernard poulin, the world- trotting, globe-trotting engineer who has done stuff on every continent, and we want to get into that, because it's an incredible company that you've built. but when doing the research i found out about your grandfather and your father to whom you pay a great deal of respect and tribute, and your grandfather was a farmer. tell me about that. - first of all, i never dared to be called dr. poulin yet, but i think it can be useful in certain circumstances. well, my... i guess my upbringing was a little different than many kids at that time. my father was a very, very, very special man. my father was the 16th of a family of 16--he was the last child--and his father died when he was 12 years old. - father was a farmer. - father was a farmer. yeah. big family like they had in quebec in these day
