What a guy!!!
Something funny when he received, the Governor Generals Arts Award, I have that on tape, have not watch it for a while. But some of the other recipients were well over 65, some maybe in there mid 70's, except Karen Kain. And I forget her name, but there was this little old lady, that was seated 2 or 3 chairs, from Gord, would constantly looked at Lightfoot and smiled, as if she had a crush on him. Made me laugh...

I'm amazed at all the memorabelia, TV clips, interviews, photos and stories that everyone has. I wish so much that it could all be compiled into some sort book or DVD or both--a multi-media set. There is a real opportunity here for some ambitious person (or group of people). It really should all be preserved somehow, so that those rare items don't wind up getting lost forever some day.
