WATCH CBC “The National” ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 20

FOR COAST-TO-COAST REPORT ON BALA’S MUSEUM

What an experience! We were interviewed and filmed for close to four hours over two days this week by three of the top pros at national CBC.

Their report will appear on CBC’s “The National” this coming Friday (Jan. 20),

providing breaking news does not delay it to another night.

We were asked to do a special presentation of our re-created 1919

silent movie, Anne of Green Gables on Wednesday evening at our

church. Excerpts of our presentation will be included in the report.

The film crew included Pat Softly, the producer, Deana Sumanac, arts reporter for “The National” and videographer Keith Whelan. All are top-flight CBC pros and great people. We felt as if we were losing family when they drove away waving from their CBC van.

Very good articles in this issue of the Shining Scroll Newsletter

There are some very informative articles to be found here in The Shining Scroll Newsletter:

The Shining Scroll Newsletter

I particulary enjoyed the article in Part II on Anita Webb.  Anita Webb grew up at Green Gables (her parents were the owners), was a relative of LM Montgomery and the last housekeeper/caretaker of LMM in Maud's home on Riverside Drive in Toronto where Maud passed away in 1942.

In Part II are also some very beautiful vintage postcards showing Halifax, NS around the time that Maud lived there in the late 1800's.  She did not like Halifax, a fact that I had forgotten till I read this article on Maud in Halifax. 

This is highly recommended reading for all who are interested in learning more deeply about the life of LM Montgomery.
