A smaller Canadian TV network ran a new, very thorough and absolutely well-done, biography of Lennie twice in 1999.

To Kendall: In the mid-40's, when I was a young child growing up in a village near Moncton, our main radio station was CFCY, Charlottetown. "Cowboy" Gene Hooper, as he sang in his theme song and Don Messer were mainstays of the station. And, every year, Hal Lonepine and Betty would put on a show in our little village hall. That was a very big event in our life.

I am currently taking fiddle lessons (A life-long dream) at Peter Dawson's place in Ottawa. What a coincidence!! Peter was the fiddler in Hal's group. We have had some good talks about those days.
