Mary Ann, Thanks so much. The history of that era is fascinating to a Canadian ear. Getting two or three points of view really paints a vivid picture. I so wish that I could share some of the Canadian situation at that time, but sadly none of the incidents or people involved would have any name recognition to other THAN Canadians.(and precious few of them) Believe me I've tried, but without charismatic and recognisable folks like Woody, Irwin, Studs, Barbara, Bob.G. etc. as characters in the stories, it's just not the same.

By the way, Frank, you were going to share something about Mr. Terkel with me. I had one astonishing afternoon with him, which I related in a personal message to "Frankham", but I'm not sure if you got it. My e-mail is if you'd like to send it to me. I'd love to read it.

Rick
