Thank you, Bill. Break a leg (but not really) for the compline service. I feel connected to you and the many Friends of Mavis. Already strategizing a complete journey through the texts, so your work, sir, has been a triumph! Cheers!
Carolyne, have been trying to reach you through email/messaging. I am visiting Courtenay/Comox on a somewhat regular basis so thought we could link up at some point!
It has been simply a heavenly experience, full of art, beauty, revelations, insights, and most of all, beautiful BR writing that inspired me to read MG all over again. That's pretty much what heavenly means, yes?
Gratitude in abundance coming yr way, Bill Richardson.
It’s been a great ride! Thank you, Bill, for providing a morning treat these past months, I’ll really miss your posts, and that is an understatement. Best of luck with the service tonight, and may the sunflowers still be standing tall. I would be there except for the fact of 1000km of separation. It being my birthday today, there will be a nice bottle of vino handy this evening and I will toast Mavis, and you for providing a portal into her world. All the best. (Margo)
Would love to be a the compline specially since it's embracing two of my favourite performers - three with you! I'll put a sunflower in my window there are lots here on Toronto island - but alas too far from the church - it's been a fabulous journey, you've sent me back to the past when Mavis was my fave - I'm re-reading! Thanks Margaret Hollingsworth
Thank you for being such a capable, entertaining (was autocorrected to intertwining and I think that works too!) and informative guide over the last few months. I wish you and your fellow MG devotees all the best for tonight’s service and look forward to the recording.
Hello Bill, I’ve enjoyed reading your MG diaries, being a long-standing fan of her work. You might want to check out canadianwritersabroad.com tomorrow (or after) for an interview with MG that you may have missed. Thanks for bringing her centenary to Canada’s attention.
PS make that croquet. or coquette. you pick.

Christine, maybe we could confer regarding your idea of a complete journey through the text as that has been on my mind as well.
Hi Cathie - would you be kind enough to send me your email address? where is it, why can't i find it? wmjrichardson@gmail.com.
Happy to do that! dewarc@douglascollege.ca
Will email you, thanks!
Would love to see your map! I was diligent at the beginning but trailed off…

Yes please! Email me from carolynejmontgomery.com or I’ll see you next Sat? Curious for sure!

Stories can wait. Stores cannot.
Thanks, Bill, for rising earlier for months in order to share the wondrous Mavis Gallant--and yourself--with us. Bravo!
What was that?
Listen.
"Clean up in aisle 3!"

Linda, I am taking you with me tonight in spirit!
Awww. Thanks, Cathie. I'm looking forward to hearing the recording tomorrow. Glad you can go tonight.
Bill, I hope the Compline goes well.
I’ll be there tonight but I am already missing you.

Happy Birthday Bill. Words cannot express my gratitude for your writing and friendship.
May the compline- and all your birthdays- be glorious.
Can you not just create an excuse to free-associate your observations on everything after this? Can’t go cold turkey…
