Thanks for the lovely story! I too love Stephen Leacock, his wit and humour are much like Twain/Clemens. And like Terry's.
I can imagine all the town you were in up north..I spent many summers in my parents hometown of Timmins and out in the bush where the cabin was located on Gibson Lake. Small bushplanes and float planes played a huge part in the lives of people in the remote areas you speak of...I've been to many of those little, out of the way towns.
It's nice but not surprising that Terry was such a thoughtful man and appreciative of the kindness you showed him. I'm sure those books were helpful in getting through the long flights and weeks away away from home and family while out on tour.
thanks again for the stories..
