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.
