Yes, I understand that the facts at that time appear to make it seem highly unlikely. Perhaps he was doing it for a lark, or out of a sense of celebratory patriotism. Or maybe there was another personal reason or a lull in his career. Maybe doing somebody a favour?

My memory is so vivid because I was blown away when he spoke to me in the make-up room (our school's Physics Lab) before the performance. It was a hive of activity with the make-up people (several young women from Quebec) working feverishly on all of us and he only said two words to me (our chairs were sorta facing each other) but I was delighted that a performer of that status would speak to moi!

Thank you for your research. I've spent hours following every possible lead on Google, but to no avail. That was a long time ago.

Our school's Grad Class is having its 50th Reunion this summer!
