Author Rolf Staude, former resident of Creighton Mine, has written a memoir of his new life in Canada and in Creighton Mine, Ontario in the 1950′s and early 60′s. From the index, and from talking with Rolf, it should be a really interesting read for anyone with their roots in the rocks of Creighton Mine.

I was notified of the book launch via my membership in the Sudbury Arts Council. Below is a copy of the notice…

May 26 from 5 to 8 pm: Author Rolf Staude’s book titled ” It Started at Creighton Mine”. Book Launch and sale at Laurentian University Library. For more information contact the author by email staude@hotmail.com  or phone 1-705-527 5930.

I’m making the assumption that “library” means the J.N. Demarais library on the south-west end of the Arts building. For those attending, there is parking on the south side of the Arts Building.

Rolf has also forwarded me the link to a website his publisher is creating for the book. It is here at It Started at Creighton Mine

I am intending to be there. Say ‘hi’ if you see me.

Cheers

Garth

On April 6 I had the pleasure of attending a presentation by one of our former Governors General, the Right Honourable Adrienne Clarkson, at the Toronto Botanical Gardens as part of the Edward’s Lecture series. Ms. Clarkson is an avid gardener and it was most interesting hearing how she had a hand in restoring the gardens of Rideau Hall, her former residence while in the office of Governor General. We were also treated to a “tour” of the makeover of their present Toronto home garden in The Annex. Following the lecture, Ms. Clarkson conducted a book signing session for many delighted fans.
