University Club, Montreal, June 11, 2013

After St. Matthias I was invited to speak to the Irish Canadian 
Benevolent Society at the prestigious University Club in Montreal, 
with several presidents of other clubs in attendance.

I gave a rather amusing account of events in Book Three 
of The Alford Saga, The Pioneer, in which my Grandfather 
comes to Montreal in the 1850s.

The event had been arranged by the former Lord Archbishop 
of Montreal, the Rt Rev Bruce Stavert (on L). 

Afterwards the president of the Society, 
Robert Ouellette, presented me with a book.
