Toronto: Memorial Dinner for Rudi Dorn 2011

 Paul and Joan, with Harry Boyd and his wife Lynda, gave a small 

memorial for the great CBC designer from the Golden Years 

of Canadian Television, Rudi Dorn. He passed away earlier this year.

 Rudi’s sketches and designs illuminated some great designs and plays:

who joined CBC in 1957, only four years after Paul.

 John McGreevy, a former director at CBC who worked with Rudi.

stage crew at CBC TV in 1952.

 Eric Till talks to David Gardner, artist, actor, director, theatre head, 
Canada Council exec in charge of theatre, man of so many talents, 
who just lost his lovely Scottish wife, Dorothy, 
who had been Paul’s script assistant.
