Packing up yesterday and then in the afternoon Barbara and her son, David, came for a drink to celebrate the archive being accepted at Uvic. Barbara is full of so many stories about Otto and he led such a fascinating life that I think Jim's planned biographical sketch will turn out to be much longer. It certainly is a biography that needs to be written.
Then Richard and Emily brought in wonderful halibut, chips, onion rings, and mushy peas from C-Lovers for dinner. Absolutely delicious!
And we learned that Emily plays the violin so they took my father's violin and we'll look forward to hearing a tune! It isn't playable at the moment and will need some work. I enjoyed having the violin up on my parents' old china cabinet but have recently been thinking I would donate it so someone would play it and get some use out of it. So this is great that Emily will be using it and I know my father would be thrilled about it.
