Here is a blast from the past for you, Jon. Ha! Just wanted everyone to know that Wendy Price, wife of folksinger Bill Price, is at my home in Port Alberni visiting from Whitby, England, and we spent yesterday afternoon with Vera. The facility is very nice. Staff appear to have more than a little affection for our Vera. Vera did not remember us but we were delighted when she joined in on verses of her songs that Wendy sang to her. Wendy said "you wrote that, Vera," and she said "I did?" She seemed to recall Bill Price and when I told her Wendy was his wife (I should have said widow) she threw up her hands and said "Congratulations!". We also spoke with her about the song she wrote for Billy Graham. We could not remember all the words and Wendy said, "Oh, what was that song about, Vera" and she said "Well, it was about Billy Graham, I presume". It is true she has little memory of the past but she appeared to take great pleasure in our visit and the three of us had lots of laughs. She is expressive and still speaks her mind . She is a delight to visit. I knew Vera in the very late 60's - early 70;s. We were in Summerland running a coffeehouse known as Chatauqua 333. Josef Benson, George and Norma Ryga, Dick Clements and myself. Vera sang for us.    I reconnected with her in Vancouver after moving there and getting involved with Vancouver Folksong Society, Jon Barlett, Phil and Hilda Thomas, Barry Hall, Adrian Duncan , etc. Jon...do you know where any of these folks are now? I know Phil has passed away. Dick Clements called me.   I am so sorry I could not make it over for the gathering to celebrate his life.   Certainly a recorded collection of our BC folksingers would be wonderful. It would be such a pleasure for Vera to be able to hear this before she joins Phil. Jon...over to you. You were always so good at making sure things really happened and I know that has not changed.
