Perhaps the next best line of work for the terminally star -struck would be a job which brings them into close contact with big-time entertainment personalities. Seaforth native Ron Scott, son of Vern and the late Margaret Scott, of Seaforth, is one person who finds this type of work fulfilling. Mr. Scott, 25, has worked for the past two years as a representative of Capitol Records, in Vancouver, earning his living by' promot- ing and hyping" recordings and artists Prior to joining Capitol he worked as an on -air radio personality.

"I feel I've been fortunate in leading an exciting and challenging life since leaving the old home town. W orlong in radio as an on -air personality was a thrilling experience with many rewards. However, since joining Capitol Records -- EMI two years ago in Calgary, I've been truly fulfilling my dreams, goals and aspirations. i've met and worked with some incredibly talented people includ- ing: Anne Murray, Tina Turner, Bryan Adams, Corey Hart....trust me, the List goes on," he writes.

The afternoon was spent rehearsing for last bight's Gala Concert. This gave me the opportunity to meet Kenny Rogers and comedian Howie Mandel," said Mr. Scott in his letter. When the time for the actual performance came. Mr. Scott had a seat close to all the main action. "My seat was not more than 100 feet from the true stars (Charles and Diana) and during the three-hour concert, it was difficult not to be distracted by the reactions in the Royal Box." While he has been busy promoting entertainment personalities, Mr. Scott has also done a little promoting of his old home town. as he did while talking with Scottish - born singer Sheena Easton. "Sheen's originally from Scotland. So naturally f about the Seaforth connection with Scotland. Ontario and Vancouver.

With that many reminders of his birthplace around him, Mr. Scott could be forgiven for feeling a touch of homesickness, and his tetter indicates he hopes a few of his old Mends will be heading out west this summer. "I'd love to be able to find time to write postcards to all my family and friends living in your area, but my Career keeps me far too busy. So, I'm hoping you will publish this tetteras my invitation to all to visit Expo '86."
