Montreal No.2 DIMSUM May 2012

As is becoming a tradition, Joan and I assembled those friends in town 
this long weekend who over the years have helped me at my company, 
Quest Film Productions Ltd — until it ceased, the oldest motion picture 
production house in Canada. I call them my “doodles”. But they are 
hardly little doodles any more. With their Quest training, they rose rapidly 
through the ranks and are now in positions of power!
 Stewart Harding worked for Quest for many years, learning the business, 
until he became a noted line producer in film centres across Canada. 
His wife, Cathy Wadas is in charge of infectious 
disease control on the West Island.
 Charles Faubert, soon after leaving Quest, became a bigwig at a l
arge software company. His lovely partner, Genevieve, has 
her own French publishing company in Montréal. 
 Thom K. Richardson first wrote scripts with Quest, then left,
 and now has authored a number of motion pictures, miniseries, 
and television series, the most recent being in post production right now.
 
Finally, Cary Lawrence, the daughter of my BCS friends, the Lawrence
 twins, and the star of The Dance Goes On (1980) took a break from her 
heavy rehearsal and filming schedule to join us.
