Book Reading at The Osoyoos Library

I recently did a book reading of my autobiography "Notes and Clippings" at the Osoyoos Library. 

The Librarian did the introduction 

I had an hour to do the reading and presentation.

I appreciated this opportunity to tell my story. 

The Book Launch Continued.

On the Book Launch trip to Saskatchewan I donated a copy to the Libraries in North Battleford, Regina and Beth Jacob Synagogue.

While in Regina I had a very nice visit with a Psychiatric Nursing colleague. 

Quote: from "Notes and Clippings- It all started in Saskatchewan" 

"Another Psychiatric Nurse, whom I worked with during that time, was Vera LaFayette. She was a member of Sonshine Christian Ministries. She works with Healing Through Prayer. While Vera and I worked together in the Activity Therapy Department she asked me to attend a session. I remember how uneasy I felt at the time as I was close-minded about sharing my prayers openly with anyone let alone within a therapeutic setting. The session and the words she spoke left me with a lasting impression."

Book Launch in Cut Knife SK

On the way from Osoyoos BC to Cut Knife in May my husband, Randal, and I were asked to stop in Marsden, SK to visit Connie (Buglas) Lane. She had a lot of memories of the Gallivan School Days to share. Thank you Connie for your stories.

 In Cut Knife Saskatchewan I held a book launch at the Senior Centre. It was exhilarating to see a Gallivan School class-mate from grade 6 to 10, Lorna Buglas.

Quote from "Notes And Clippings   "During these school years I was always comparing myself to others, constantly putting myself  down. I expressed this in my journal: 'Lorna is twice as smart as I am. She can read things once and remember what she reads, while I would have to read things several times before it sticks in my memory'.

While there I donated a copy to the Cut Knife Library. 

This write-up in the Cut Knife Courier was appreciated. Thank you for sharing it with your readers. 

Copies of  "Note and Clippings- It started in Saskatchewan" will be available 

at the Clayton Mclean Heritage Museum
