New Brunswick has wonderful libraries!
Tanya Endiguer, head of research for the Campbeltown
Centennial Library welcomed me with a splendid sign.
Tanya, Victoria, and their committee, decorated the
walls with book covers and set up a wonderful display.
Grandson James came to sell books on behalf of the
United Church in Campbellton.
Before the talk, volunteers in costume passed out refreshments.
The distinguished MP for Bonaventure, Philip Toone, a forceful
voice for the NDP in Ottawa, brought his associate, Guy Caron,
the MP for Rimouski.
I was introduced by Tanya.
Very pleasing to me to meet a direct descendant of Isaac Mann,
Sheriff of Bonaventure, who figures in my books.
Isaac’s grandson and mine posed.
Also a delight to meet a Helen Busteed, direct descendant
of the Busteeds, who figure in Books Three and Four.
Prof. Danielle Cyr edited a Micmac dictionary with
Manny Metallic, and his relative came to the launch.
Paul & James gathered the volunteers from the United Church
who serve meals to the poor.
