UP FRONT
Our cover story this month tells about one of the most
distinguished residents of Western Ontario, playwright and
poet James Reaney. The Stratford native who now lives in
London is going home for the production of his latest play. King
Whistle, to be presented this month at the Avon Theatre in
Stratford, is the playwright's contribution to the celebration of
the centennial of the high school he attended in Stratford. We
talked to him about the play and his career.
Another regional writer is also the subject of an interview in
this magazine. He's writer and broadcaster Don Campbell, now
a resident of Kincardine. Campbell has turned to writing and
broadcasting as a career at the age of 60, a time when most
people are thinking of retirement. Retirement is the last thing on
the mind of this energetic man as you'll find in the fascinating
account of his life.
And in case all this talk about writers has you "cheesed off ',
we've got something perhaps more to your taste. The Atwood
Cheese Factory celebrated its centennial this year and writer
Laura Drummond tells us something of its past and its present.
If music is your interest, Elaine Townshend tells us about a
Mitchell resident Gloria Hart who is achieving her goal of
making a career for herself in music. She's got a new album just
out.
And of course there are our regular features, Around Town, a
restaurant review, and Update on what's going on in the area.
People, McGillicuddy's Diary and more. We hope you'll enjoy
this issue.
