like me up a mountain and leave them,
gasping, about halfway up, as he reached the
summit.
Born in 1892• on the island of Calumet, in
the Ottawa River, in the lumbering days, he
graduated from the school of hard knocks.
His father was sluice -master at the Roche
Fondue, a rapids in the river, where the logs
were diverted down a wooden sluice so they
would not be smashed to splinters in the
rapids. Young Ivan had to work on the family
farm abutting the river,
In his youth he was an athlete, playing
hockey for Shawville, which produced NHL
star Frank Finnigan. With little formal
education, he went into business, did well
during many years in Montreal, retired, and
bought some land along his beloved Ottawa
River, where he built, mostly by hand, a
beautiful log cabin which he still visits every
summer.
In every respect, he is a self-made,
self-educated and widely ,read man He's my
idea of what somebody with guts and
initiative' could, and still can do, in this great
couptry.
Beside those virtues, he has charm, wit,
and great vitality. And these are why I've
loved him since I was a kid, not because he
"made good."
On my way overseas, I visited him in
Montreal, was treated like a son, and slipped
a small cash donation. When I got back from
overseas, same thing.
His life has not been all roses. He lost a
brilliant young son who was in his 20s.• His
wife died in an automobile accident. But his
spirit, though deeply hurt, bounded back. At
80, he seemed 60. At 90, he seems about a
year older than I. Andwe look alike. When I
was a kid, about half the time my mother
called me Ivan before she remembered I was
Billy.
After serving in World War I, he worked
hard in forming the Canadian Legion to make
sure "you boys" of the second war got a
better deal from government than his
generation did. He was also active in polities,
and is a great environmen alist. He is beloved
by his huge collection of nieces and nephews,
daughter and grandchildren, and hundreds
of cousins.
Dear Uncle Ivan, I salute you as a great
Canadian, •and will be there for your 100th,
even if I have to take an ambulance.
I had two bonuses in going to Ottawa for my
uncle's birthday. • I got away from my
grandchildren fora couple of days, just about
the time I was going to crack up, and I had a
good visit with my daughter.
We ate at an outdoor cafe. We went to a
horror movie. We ate a gigantic pizza in
Ottawa's burgeoning city centre. We went to
hear a rock group in which an old friend of
hers, and a former student of mine was
playing. My ears are still ringing, but I must
admit I enjoyed it. We ate and drank in a
swanky cocktail lounge at the Chateau
Laurier and heard some excellent jazz. And
we talked and talked and talked, without her
kids or other interruptions. That was a treat,
She was in great spirits, doing well in her
university courses, and has found a place to
live in a good section (but in a crumby
basement apartment).
She told me Ottawa was a beautiful city, as
she drove me around, but you couldn't prove
it by me My eyes were shut tight and my fists
clenched in my lap. She drives a beat -up old
Datsun as though she were in the Grand Pix.
Most of us slow down when we see an orange
light. She speeds up to beat the red one. And
everyone else in the city drives like that.
Arfyway, that was a big summer adven-
ture. I was shaky from that driving for days,
but soon recovered enough to start making
peanut butter and honey sandwiches again.
