What a beautiful memory. Thank you for sharing.

I was a huge fan of Stuart McLean ever since I heard the Vinyl Cafe totally by accident over the car radio when I was flipping through the stations.  Heard Mr. McLean reading one of his stories and that's it, I was hooked.  More than anything he was a truly Canadian artist, representing the soul and spirit of Canadian culture in his work.  The world is a lesser place today.
