Remembrance Day 2024

Lest we forget!

July

“She had always wanted words, she loved them; grew up on them.

Words gave her clarity, brought reason, shape.”

~ Michael Ondaatje, The English Patient

Alice Munro (b. 10 July 1931 – d. 13 May 2024)

Just as we were coming to terms with Rex Murphy’s passing,

another great Canadian has departed.

Rest in peace, Alice Munro.

A Canadian treasure! He was one of the greats and he will be missed.

I didn’t always agree with him, but I always looked forward to his columns.

Rest in peace.

Rex Murphy (b. March 1947 – d. May 9, 2024)

“She had always wanted words, she loved them; grew up on them.

Words gave her clarity, brought reason, shape.”

~ Michael Ondaatje (b. 12 September 1943), The English Patient

“The complexity of things—the things within things—just seems to be endless.

I mean nothing is easy, nothing is simple.”

~ Alice Munro (b. July 10^th 1931)
