MY GRATITUDE

Thank you to those of you who have visited this site, I sincerely hope that you've found it informative and perhaps even useful. For those of you who have been here more than once, if you've noticed slight differences in certain parts of the text since your last visit, it is because I am quite often revising things as I recall more about them, or I discover a last name or a particular date while rummaging through that old beaten up cardboard box that lies buried in my office closet. You see, I began writing this for you...for those of you who weren't there. It seems now however, I find myself writing this as much for my own benefit as well.

It is a curious process indeed to attempt to piece together the jumbled pieces of a major time in your life. In this case, it has been like trying to remember certain scenes in a movie I saw many, many years ago. Because looking back on it all now, as strange as it may sound, that is exactly what this has been like, like recalling scenes from a movie I once saw. And perhaps the oddest thing of all about it though, is how detached I feel from the main character in that movie. As if he is someone else entirely. Perhaps he is. For I believe that in the course of a man's life, every man is "many" men. That within every man their lives many different men and that each one of those individual men rises to the occasion in a lifetime that was created just for him. Montreal was simply "his" occasion.
