I met Burl Ives in 1966, he was doing a movie in Alberta Canada, staying at Num Tih Jah Lodge, near Lake Louise. I'd just arrived to be a waitress for the summer, my first time away from home, my first job, he was the first person I waited on. NO ONE could have eaten more than he did at that breakfast, no one could have been kinder. He worked on the movie all day and entertained anyone who wanted to hang out in the evening. When his son, Alex arrived I was invited to go with them exploring. Alex was on his way to England to go to school, he promised to write. I'd love to reconnect with him now and get his story. If anyone knows where Alex lives now please let me know.
