In the UK, the Labour Party just flipped a seat in a by-election. Labour and the Liberal Democrats have been doing this quite a bit recently.
This time it was in Scotland in the constituency of Rutherglen and Hamilton West. Labour support skyrocketed over results in the last general election. The seat had previously been held by a member of the scandal-plagued Scottish National Party (SNP) which has 44 seats in Parliament.
Labour has defeated the SNP to win the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election. The party's candidate, Michael Shanks, took the Westminster seat with 17,845 votes - more than double the number polled by the SNP's Katy Loudon. The result was a swing of 20.4% from the SNP to Labour. The by-election was called after former SNP MP Margaret Ferrier was ousted by her constituents for breaking Covid rules. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said it was a "seismic" night and that people in Rutherglen and Hamilton West had sent "a clear message".
This was the second-best result for Labour in this constituency since the second Margaret Thatcher win.

The ruling Conservative Party saw its support drop by 11.1 points in Rutherglen and Hamilton West. It's their latest disappointment in the unusual number of by-elections which have taken place since the 2019 general election.
But the worst may be yet to come for the Conservatives.
I was looking at a YouGov/The Times poll taken in the UK in early October and noticed something astonishing. Only 2% of those polled in the 18 to 24 age group said they would vote Conservative. Even when poll results are weighted by likelihood of voting, that number creeps up to just 4%.
Tumblr media
If that's too small to see, check out the PDF for full poll results.
I don't regard polls as infallible, but this looks downright miserable for the future of the party of Brexit.
The slightly less poor Conservative standing with the 25 to 49 group (10% raw, 15% weighted) shows that the longtime trend of voters becoming more conservative as they age is not as strong as it might have been in the past.
The next general election must be held no later than 28 January 2025. Though it would probably be held sometime between May and December of 2024. Of the 21 general elections since 1945, 15 have taken place in May, June, or October.

You’re right. I do want in because there are so, so many — and a lot of mine don’t have clips, sadly.
-The Pink Lady with Hazel Dawn, a frothy little 1911 musical at the New Amsterdam Theater before Flo Ziegfeld moved the Follies in. (Though he was a producer of this.) Main reason? My mom bought the score for this at a flea market for a quarter, so I grew up hearing the music. At one point, Hazel Dawn played “The Pink Lady Waltz” on stage with a violin.
-The Ziegfeld Follies of almost any year, but if I had to pick one, it would be 1915. W.C. Fields, Bert Williams, Ina Claire, Mae Murray, Olive Thomas, Marion Davies, and Ann Pennington were in the cast and the song “Hello, Frisco!” was introduced.
-The original cast of A Chorus Line, which I missed on my senior class trip in ‘77, though I did get to see Annie with the original cast, including Dorothy Loudon. “What I Did for Love” was the unofficial song of the drama section of our graduating class, because even at that age, the question, “What would you do if you couldn’t dance any longer?” resonated strongly with us. (There is, btw, a not great version of a B&W video taking at the Public Theater before the show went to Broadway on YouTube. I listen more than I watch, but that moment is still heartbreaking.)
youtube
-The Bandwagon, 1931. Another musical review and another one at The New Amsterdam, though this one was produced after the the Follies had ended. It was the last Broadway show Fred Astaire did with his sister Adele before she retired from the stage to marry and English lord. (Yes, the film Royal Wedding is partially based on her.) Frank Morgan was also in the cast, and that would have been a treat.
-Anything Goes, 1934, with Ethel Merman creating the role of Reno Sweeney. She did the role for the movie version, but Merman and the movie camera never seemed to be a great fit because she was too big. Would have loved to see her fill the stage with her personality, hitting back of the balcony in those days before there microphones.
youtube
And it’s so hard to pick just five. I’d love to have seen Pacific Overtures, but there’s also recording shot for Japanese Television out there on YT with the original cast, including Mako (and better quality than the Chorus Line video) . https://youtu.be/MQ546PASgHI?si=X8vvHvsWDdlSFVi1
youtube
I’d put Dreamgirls on the list, but I did get to see it with Jennifer Holiday here in Los Angeles when it opened on tour. (And she was amazing.) A Day in Hollywood, A Night In the Ukraine was another premiere tour production, a show that does not get enough productions, because we all need a revue of great classic movie songs performed by the ushers at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, including a tap dance rendition of the Motion Picture Code, and a second act which is the “great play Chekov never wrote” starring the Marx Brothers and Margaret Dumont. But there’s also Chess, which I saw in London and just missed in New York. Probably should put Les Miz on the list since that is a show I have managed to miss in London, New York and Los Angeles.
One show I really wouldn’t want to see was a muscial originally called Odyssey when I saw it on pre-Broadway tour. Starring Yul Brynner and Joan Diener, it’s one of the more notorious flops on Broadway. When I saw it, the show clearly needed work, but had some funny bits, especially Yul Brynner, who was hysterical as Odysseus masquerading as the beggar when he arrives home. But the show was re-worked quite a bit more, and not to good advantage. By the time it hit Broadway, it was retitled Home, Sweet Homer, and had 11 previews and 1 performance. Some stories say the closing notice as up as soon as the opening (and only) performance was finished. Other stories say it was posted during the intermission.
You have 5 tickets and a time machine to see any Broadway shows in the past
Which 5 shows are you seeing? It could even be off Broadway, a show you’ve already seen, a show you’ll never get to see, ANYTHING. Put your 5 shows in the hashtags…

International Women’s Day 2022:  Miss Janet Gallie (1888-1953), Mistress of Method at the Glasgow Provincial Training College
Tumblr media
Janet Gallie (ref: JCE/22/1/7)
Held annually on 8 March, International Women’s Day celebrates the cultural, political, and socioeconomic achievements of women around the world. To mark International Women’s Day 2022, this post traces the career of Miss Janet Gallie, who lectured for over 30 years at the Glasgow Provincial Training College, antecedent of the University of Strathclyde, and helped to train hundreds of women to work as primary school teachers throughout Glasgow, Scotland and beyond.
Janet Buchanan Gallie was born in Glasgow on 27 May 1888, to James Gallie and Margaret Jane Gallie, née Buchanan. She had three younger siblings: James junior, born in 1890; Dorothy Jane Loudon, born c.1894; and Agnes Margaret, born in 1901. The 1901 Census shows the family residing at ‘Kilwinnet’, a nine-roomed dwelling house located at 25 Sutherland Avenue in Glasgow. The household also included one live-in domestic servant, and two temporary servants: a Monthly Nurse and a Mother’s Help, Margaret Gallie having given birth to her youngest child, Agnes, less than a month previously. The family still lived at the same address a decade later, when the 1911 Census was taken.1    
After leaving school, Janet studied for the degree of Master of Arts at the University of Glasgow. She graduated, aged 21, in October 1909, having secured the required passes in Latin, Mathematics, French, Logic, English, Botany and Natural Philosophy.2 She then followed her father into the teaching profession, being the only one of the four Gallie children to do so.3 In the autumn of 1909, Janet enrolled for a one-year professional training course for graduates (‘Course D’) at the Glasgow Provincial Training College, which was managed by the Glasgow Provincial Committee for the Training of Teachers. While most of her fellow trainees received help from the authorities to cover their tuition fees and living expenses, Janet’s father paid her training fee of £10. 0s. 0d. and she sought no maintenance allowance (the contemporary equivalent of a student grant).4 This suggests that the Gallies’ financial circumstances were reasonably comfortable. Indeed, James Gallie was a long-established employee of the Glasgow Provincial Training College, where his post as Lecturer in Music (Singing) carried a maximum salary of £500 per annum.5  
During her training year, Janet performed particularly well in the following subjects: Methods and Practice of Teaching, in which she was graded ‘Very Good’; School and Personal Hygiene (‘Very Good’); Psychology (‘Very Good’); Drawing (‘Very Good’) and Singing (‘Excellent’). She completed the course successfully and was recognised as a Certificated Teacher from 1 August 1910. As well as gaining the General Certificate, which was the basic qualification to teach in elementary schools, she received endorsement as a teacher of Drawing in terms of Article 37b.6
After qualifying, Janet worked for short periods of time at several elementary schools managed by the Govan Parish School Board, including Govanhill Public School, Church Street Primary School, Pollokshields Public School and Calder Street Public School. She was then appointed as a permanent Assistant Teacher at Stow Practising School from 26 November 1911, at a salary of £30 per annum.7 Stow Practising School was one of the two demonstration schools then associated with the Glasgow Provincial Committee for the Training of Teachers, where the Glasgow Provincial Training College students came to observe and to practice giving lessons.    
In December 1915, the Glasgow Provincial Training College had need of an additional member of staff to help instruct its students in Methods. The Provincial Committee proposed to transfer Helen Gray, one of Janet’s fellow Assistants at Stow Practising School, to the Methods Department of the Training College for the remainder of the session, but Miss Gray was unable to take up the secondment, which was offered to Janet instead. She accepted, and her temporary transfer took effect on 11 January 1916.8 Janet’s arrival to join her father, James Gallie on the staff of the Glasgow Provincial Training College may have been some comfort during a difficult period that lay ahead for the family, as Janet’s 15-year-old sister, Agnes, sadly died later that year.
Perhaps owing to the protracted nature of the First World War and its impact on the College, Janet’s secondment lasted longer than originally intended. She was still a temporary member of the College staff in September 1917, when, extra assistance then being required for the teaching of Phonetics, she was directed to ‘give special attention to the methods of teaching Reading, especially in relation to the work of the students in Phonetics.’9 Finally, in September 1919, a permanent vacancy arose within the Methods Department, and it was recommended that ‘Miss Janet B. Gallie be placed on the permanent staff of the Methods Department in connection with the Training College students.’ As Mistress of Methods, her starting salary was £250 per annum, rising by increments of £15 to a maximum of £350.10
Mistress of Methods
The Methods Department served to instruct students in the general theory and practice of teaching and was one of the key departments of the Glasgow Provincial Training College. Trainees knew that achieving a final grade of ‘Very Good’ in Methods could considerably improve their employment prospects: as the College magazine, The New Dominie put it, ‘the teaching mark plays such an important part in the immediate future of the student.’11
In Methods lectures, the students learned how to convey information effectively to children; to make judicious use of the blackboard, maps, pictures, and other visual aids to hold pupils’ attention, and, crucially, to maintain discipline in the classroom. They also learned that correct speech and good deportment were vital attributes for an aspiring teacher, and were instructed to enunciate properly - eschewing the characteristic West of Scotland glottal stop - and adjust their pitch and tone of voice appropriately; to convey confidence and authority in their physical appearance (head held high, good eye contact, and no folded arms or hands in pockets when addressing a class); and to be punctual, methodical, orderly, and thorough at all times.
The Methods staff, including Janet Gallie, were all required to be experienced schoolteachers themselves. In addition to lecturing, their duties included giving demonstration lessons to classes of children in the Practising Schools, observed by the students. The page below, from the notebook of trainee teacher Florence Adams, records a demonstration lesson about Mary, Queen of Scots, given by Miss Gallie at Dundas Vale Practising School on 12 November 1919.12
Tumblr media
Methods classes also involved criticism lessons, or ‘crits’, in which the students put their learning into practice and tested out their classroom skills. They took turns to plan, prepare, and teach a lesson to a class of children, while the Methods lecturer and their fellow students looked on, judging the positive and negative aspects of their performance. The lecturer not only assessed the student delivering the lesson, but also marked their peers’ written observations on the content of the lesson and the appearance, speech, and attitude of the presenter.13
Within the Methods Department, Miss Gallie was one of several staff responsible for the training of the female ‘non-graduate’ students, who followed a two-year (or from 1931, a three-year) course to qualify as primary school teachers. She appears to have been genuinely liked and respected by her students, who poked gentle fun at Miss Gallie’s demonstration lessons on poetry in the College magazine:
miss gallie / went to the palais / her feet move to rhythm / so she teaches pomes wythm14
Unfortunately, Miss Gallie’s extensive duties, involving a continuous round of lecturing, demonstrations, and ‘crit’ assessments, may have exacerbated underlying health conditions, for her career was punctuated by several prolonged spells of illness. Significant health issues first arose in 1922, a year after the Glasgow Provincial Training College relocated to a new, purpose-built campus at Jordanhill. In September 1922, Janet’s father wrote to the Glasgow Provincial Committee’s Sub-Committee on Studies, ‘intimating that Miss Gallie was suffering from a nervous breakdown and asking that, in the circumstances, she be granted six months’ leave of absence’. The Committee acceded to this request.15 Another extended absence followed several years later, stretching from 7 January 1938 until the beginning of February 1939. On this occasion, Janet was welcomed back to the College with palpable relief, the New Dominie reporting that ‘It is a pleasure to record the return of Miss Gallie after a long and trying illness. Colleagues and Students alike join in wishing her well.’16
Senior Methods Lecturer
By the early 1940s, Miss Gallie was the senior Methods Lecturer within the department, having accumulated 28 years of dedicated service to the Glasgow Provincial Training College. In January 1944, the Principal Master of Method and head of the Methods Department, Mr Eric Eaglesham, was promoted to the post of Depute Director of Studies at the College. The Glasgow Provincial Committee decided that, until a new Principal Master could be appointed, Mr Eaglesham would retain control of the Methods Department, but would receive assistance from Miss Gallie in visiting and assessing students who were out on teaching placements in various schools around the West of Scotland. To enable her to take on this responsibility, Miss Gallie was relieved of some of her own duties with the first-year non-graduate students, which were assumed by a temporary Assistant Mistress of Methods.17
Up until this point, the post of Principal Master of Method had always been held by a man. The Glasgow Provincial Committee, whose members included two women, now wanted to make the position available to candidates of both sexes; but its wishes were overruled by its superior body, the Central Executive Committee, who determined that the role be reserved for male applicants.18 The post was accordingly advertised as open to men only, which prompted protests from the Glasgow Association of University Women and the Joint Body of Women Teachers’ Organisations.19 Henry P. Wood was subsequently appointed as Principal Master of Method from 1 October 1944, at which time Miss Gallie returned to her normal duties.20 In seeking to open the post up to women, had the Glasgow Provincial Committee perhaps hoped to promote an existing female member of the College staff, such as Miss Gallie? While it is tempting to speculate, the answer will never be known for sure. 
Two years later, in session 1946-47, Henry P. Wood achieved promotion to Depute Director of Studies and the position of Principal Master of Method again became vacant. Miss Gallie was once more called upon to assume ‘advisory duties’, thus freeing Mr Wood to devote most of his time to his new position until a successor could be appointed. In recognition of this, the Glasgow Provincial Committee awarded Miss Gallie an honorarium of £15; however, it may have seemed scant consolation when the post of Principal Master of Method, still a male preserve, remained unattainable to her.21 It is also likely that the additional responsibilities she had shouldered further affected Miss Gallie’s health, for she was absent from the College on medical certificate from 11 February to 9 March 1947.22
Despite her ongoing health difficulties, Miss Gallie was clearly a capable lecturer and teacher with vast experience of the workings of the Methods Department. To have twice taken on higher responsibilities when the post of Principal Lecturer lay vacant, and yet be excluded from applying for it herself, must have proved incredibly frustrating. In 1948, Miss Gallie composed a letter to the Glasgow Provincial Committee on behalf of her female colleagues, requesting that the position of Principal Lecturer in Methods, and the posts of Director and Deputy Director of Studies, Principal Lecturer in Education and Principal Lecturer in Psychology, which were also restricted to men, should be available to women.23 Just as in 1944, the Glasgow Provincial Committee was sympathetic to this idea, and forwarded Miss Gallie’s request to the Central Executive Committee ‘for favourable consideration’. Unfortunately, the Central Executive Committee, which was composed entirely of men, chose to do nothing.24
Miss Gallie’s health continued to decline thereafter, and she was absent again from 1 October 1949.25 She did not return to work that session, and on 1 May 1950, the Sub-Committee on Studies considered her request to retire from the College at the end of the month. With regret, the Committee acceded to her wishes, ‘and the Director of Studies was asked to inform Miss Gallie accordingly, and to express the Committee’s appreciation of her long and valued service.’26 The cumulative effects of chronic illness, an extensive and intensive workload, and, one suspects, disappointment at the lack of opportunity for further career progression, had taken their toll. Miss Gallie’s departure, and the significant contribution she had made to the life and work of the College and its students, was duly acknowledged in the Summer 1950 issue of the New Dominie:  
Many teachers throughout Scotland will learn with regret that Miss Janet B. Gallie is leaving us at this time for health reasons. Her retiral brings to an end a family association with the College which goes back for many years, for her father was a Lecturer in Music, while Miss Gallie herself has been a member of the Methods Staff for over thirty years. An able teacher, a sound and independent thinker on educational matters, and above it all, a woman of wide culture, Miss Gallie has left the impress of her personality on many who have long left Jordanhill. She will be greatly missed in the Schools of the West of Glasgow by Headmasters, Staffs, and children alike, and we all hope that she will be long spared to enjoy the rest and leisure she has so richly deserved.27
Having retired to Aberfoyle in Perthshire, Janet Gallie succumbed to coronary thrombosis and diabetes on 7 May 1953, two years after leaving the College.28 Even though her attempt to open up senior posts within the Glasgow Provincial Training College to women did not succeed, she had instructed, moulded, and exerted a positive influence upon hundreds of trainee teachers throughout her 34 year career, and deserves to be remembered as one of College’s most dedicated and long-serving members of staff.

MASH...
MASH...
favorite character: listen. (grabs you)listen. It's trapper, it's trapper.
least favorite character: it's so easy to say frank, and so that's what im going to do. if I had to dig deep into my soul and come up with a more honest answer(because dont get me wrong, I hate frank. but there are slimier one-off characters), I would say that freak who tried to frame margaret for assault. oh oh !oh!!! and that captain loudon wainwright iii played for like three episodes. he barely has 2 lines but I hate his ass. no reason I just don't like him.
5 favorite ships: hawkey and trapper, bj and peg, bj and hawkeye, max and soon-lee :-), and radar and that one girl he met at the airport, because omg...young love................ ..
character I find most attractive: this is actually so funny but if you eliminate trapper(arms) it's a tie between bj and margaret. little a man crunch for the dyke in the back row(me.)
character I would marry: klinger :-). or any of the nurses. margaret I wish I could say I'd get on with, but she's the exact sort of person that I for whatever reason just can't get along with irl
character I would be best friends with: klinger I think! max is so similar to some of my irl friends and just seems like a real great person to be friends with.
a random thought: putting a pin in this one. I share plenty of those here already
an unpopular opinion: not sure how unpopular this is, but wlw klinger is so important to me. I defo understand not being comfortable with interpretations that portray klinger as a trans woman but like... indulgence. in a transgender and homosexual way. on both fronts.
my canon otp: max and soon-lee.......they're sort of thrown together at the end but (at least from where I'm sitting) it managed to feel natural, and they clearly care about eachother a lot. also staying with soon-lee to help find her family was obviously a big character moment for klinger wrt maturity, and one I enjoyed a lot more than the on-screen end of max's gender-nonconformity.
non-canon otp: you already know what's happening here. "what a picture you are of gluttony....greed..lust. oral sensation."
most badass character: bizarre question to ask but I'll say margaret because she was a #girlboss
pairing I am not a fan of: ohhh mash fans drive me up the wall. let me count the ways: 1.) non-platonic pairings involving radar and anyone over like..20 if im being honest. especially with henry(established father figure.) radar's what, 19? next. 2.) hawkeye and frank. not much to say just tear em' fascists down. not like that. 3.) charles and klinger. just doesn't do it for me. -4/10 because of established charles-is-racist-and-this-is-bad reasons.
character I feel the writers screwed up: tuttle. 0/10 why did they kill him off so soon. rest in peace, captain.
favorite friendship: hawkeye and margaret...two of them. sometimes a friendship is just you and another you but with wildly different coping methods.
skipping the adoption question because I see these characters more as objects of thirst rather than parental figures and don't care to cross those wires like that.

The Heart of War: Season 3 Overview
Tumblr media
Sure, there are some zany events in season 3. For instance, the gang must hide the corpse of a general who buys it in Margaret’s tent after suffering a boner/heart attack. But for the majority of this season the swell is one of tenderness, blooming valiantly out of ever-escalating violence. Episode after episode is a sledgehammer to the feels. My all-time favorite MASH moment, heartfelt and odd, occurs here—Hawk’s kiss on the hand from the Ethiopian patient who speaks no English—and the rest of the content seems to echo this mood of combined strength, alienation, and love.
Tumblr media
This new angle on Korea seems to look to Vietnam more than ever; in 1974-75, the season is the last to be produced while the Vietnam War is still going on. We have Loudon Wainwright and his guitar doing quasi-protest songs, penicillin being stolen from the supply shed, an acknowledgement of alcoholism in the camp, and a life-threatening visit to an aid station on the front line. Throughout, there are more terrifying explosions than before, one of which blows the windows of Henry’s office while he cowers under his desk, about five seconds into the start of the episode. Basically, Season 3 isn’t fucking around.
Tumblr media
But there is sweetness, too, as mentioned. Radar is particularly good here, and in two separate shows his love of animals is evident. It always gets me when he talks to his skunk while taking it out of the crate: “C’mere, I wanna see you.” Margaret cries all over Trapper’s shirt; Mulcahy, via radio, performs both a wedding and a bris. In a wonderful guest shot, Robert Alda appears, a father figure who ends up acting like less than a role model—a sin Hawkeye finds hard to forgive. He does, though.
Tumblr media
It’s all leading up to “Abyssinia, Henry,” one of the great episodes in TV history, and one of the saddest. I’m in tears writing this, which is a truly impressive statement about something over forty years old that so many have seen and absorbed. It’s the TV equivalent of crying over the Mona Lisa. Yet there’s still sentiment to spare for that bold piece of television, which shocked the nation of viewers and even MASH’s own cast. If you don’t prepare yourself, there are other, lesser emotional landmines as well, peppered throughout the season to catch you unawares. Welcome to season 3, my friends. Tread carefully.

DR. DALLAS GROGAN
On April 9, 2020, Dr. Dallas Rupert Grogan died peacefully in his beloved Muskoka after a brief battle with Covid-19. His family takes solace in the knowledge that Dal spent his self-isolation in their treasured family cottage on Little Lake Joseph exactly as he wished, caring for and receiving the care of his cherished wife Jane. While the anguish felt by the large and devoted family is overwhelming there is consolation in knowing that their loss is Heaven's gain. Dal was a compassionate physician, a brilliant conversationalist, a humorous and captivating storyteller, an avid golfer and gardener, a talented painter, a fervent reader and a keen listener, as well as a tender-hearted husband, father, and grandfather. Predeceased by his parents, Sydney Dallas Grogan and Thelma Bernice (Slemin) Grogan. Treasured by his wife of 63 years Jane Ann (Loudon) Grogan. Adored by his daughters, Pamela (Harry Taylor), Lisa (Kevin Green) and Cheri (David Wilson). Revered by his grandchildren, Ryan (Jessica Row) and Connor Taylor (Alice Jeffers), Zachary, Alexis (Sam Pivnick) and Taylor Green, and Dallas and Wyatt Cochran. Each grandchild knew him as their "Gaboo," an irreplaceable friend and eternal role model. Loved by his siblings Joan (Michael Jelley, deceased) as well as twins Heather (deceased) (Don Richardson), and Margaret Johnson; cherished by his early cottage partners, sister- and brother-in-law, Gwen (Mueller) Loudon and Bob Loudon (deceased). Celebrated by ten nieces and nephews and countless steadfast friends. Dal's elegant charm and warm heart touched everyone he met. Dal grew up with three sisters on Briar Hill Avenue and attended Lawrence Park Collegiate Institute. He enrolled in the University of Toronto's Arts & Science program and graduated from the Faculty of Medicine in 1957. At a UofT Drill Hall dance, Dal spotted a beautiful girl with a big wide smile who he decided to invite to a Phi Gamma Delta (FIJI House) fraternity party. With time for just a single dance, Dal boldly asked for her phone number and, upon its receipt, refused to write it down, insisting that he would never forget it. He never did. That night he arranged the date, and his life with Jane began. Dal could recite that phone number until the day he died. After six years of courtship, Dal and Jane were married and moved to Agincourt, where Dal became a partner in the Agincourt Medical Centre, and served for a short period as Chief of Emergency and board member at Scarborough General Hospital. He simultaneously practiced part-time at the Toronto East Detention Centre and at a private methadone clinic. Dal lived life in the service of others, whether he was delivering babies, making house calls, writing prescriptions or answering the door to neighbours needing stitches, bandages or other medical advice. He even attended the deliveries of his grandchildren. Dal worked long days, including two evenings a week and some weekends, taking Wednesday afternoons off to play 18 holes at Scarboro Golf & Country Club. But it was in Muskoka where Dal was happiest and most relaxed, enjoying elaborate family meals that Jane and the girls prepared, reading books in his favourite chair in the living room, chatting with his grandchildren, painting in his basement studio, or playing golf and tennis and socializing with friends at Muskoka Lakes Golf & Country Club. When Dal arrives in Heaven, dear family and friends who left before him will welcome him with open arms. The family thanks the Intensive Care Unit team at South Muskoka Hospital for Dal's courageous and compassionate care including doctors Gleason and Kuhlmann, nurses Melissa, Kristen, Ruth, Penni, Matt, Kelli, Jenn, Kali and Lauren. The family is also grateful that Jane was able to say goodbye to Dal in the ICU, and his daughters were able to say their goodbyes to him via teleconference.
