On the Monday I was given a small reception at St Matthias
Church in Westmount for the Chaplain.
The former Lord Archbishop of Quebec, the Most Rev. Bruce Stavert,
who now in his retirement assists the Rector, the Rev. Kenneth Near,
arranged the reception.
I was thrilled to meet Jane, the daughter of the distinguished actor
Bill Needles who not at 92 is thriving and who worked with me
in the 50s on CBC television. She is a parishioner of
The Rev. Ken’s St. Matthias Church. She is seen here with Ken Near.
Andrea Hazelwood was on hand again to help sell
The Chaplain and other books in The Alford Saga.
The reception was much enlivened by our friends: Sylvia Safdie
is a terrific artist, some of whose works we own.
She too bought The Chaplain.
Charles Faubert, a former Quest Films associate, and of course
;-) now successful in business, works with another successful
former Questite, Robert Gervais, son of the
distinguished Andre Gervais, sometime President of the
Canadian Bar, who represented me.

Yurij Luhovy, Ukraine’s number one documentary maker,
saved many of my films by his brilliant editing. He added the Chaplain
to his other Saga volumes.
Stewart Harding, who worked with me for many
early years, has become one of Canada’s best line producers.
Parishioner Audrey Scott is the widow of Harry, cousin of
Peter Dale Scott and grandson of the august padre of WWI
and poet, Frederick George Scott.
