Yes Stephen is an amazing person, full of energy and ideas. Almonte would not look anything nowadays without his help to resuscitate the old town.
I have known him well enough for him to say hello to me over the many years. It is his sister, the renowned puppeteer (Ed Note: Noreen Young) whom Tony and I came to know very well. Each summer when Tony's young grandchildren flew down from Yellowknife, NWT, on their own, to spend almost all of the summer holidays in our first built house in Clayton, she invited us all to spend a whole day in her home to see how she made the puppets, how to work with them and finally each time to present a play in the small puppet theatre. It is one of their best memories which to this day, all three remember extremely well.
Recently when on Vancouver Island I spent Thanksgiving weekend with Graham's sister-in-law and young Family, plus dog, visiting Graham and Ana, who own 2 Huskey dogs, then arrived Dr Sarah Cannell, Emergency Specialist, + dog, also her friend Dr Katelyn, dentist, + dog.
During the subsequent amazing meal, Sarah told the other 2 young children all about her summers in Clayton, specifically the Puppets and how they loved working with them.
Now that I have finished the tale, I still cannot remember the puppeteer 's name whom I recently met in the local grocery store!!
Oh dear I am old, also tired!
