Lance Bennett



Lance rented a room up stairs as well.
he caused one of the biggest problems at my club.
Rita
Lance met this girl Rita at some gig someplace.
In a moment of lust or maddness he gave out our (MY) phone number.
she phones Lance he tells me to say he is not here never.
I say Lance moved
she says who is this?
Gary I say.
 I had never met or laid eyes on this person, She phoned me at least once a day everyday for four years.
I tried everything, I begged, I threatened, I got the police to call her.
I put the phone in front of loud speakers. I fed painful feedback into phone.
I had Maclean and MacLean swear at her for hours.
I couldn't change my phone number because too many out of town people had it.
Then I didn't hear from her for a week or so.
then one morning about nine o clock (I got to bed at 7) Phone rings
Gary I'm in the hospital.
HUh what happened.
My boyfriend beat me up. And now he is coming to get you!
what? who is this? I realize and SCREAM RITA No! slam down phone.
then I moved.

Elway Yost

  My sister Gaille was Elway Yost's secretary for a few years at TV Ontario. "I had the incredible opportunity to meet and engage in conversation with the talented Elwy on multiple occasions. On two separate occasions, I was even asked to be a stand-by guest for his show, Magic Shadows. Though I never had the chance to step in, just being considered by Elwy himself was an honor I will never forget. As a devoted fan of Magic Shadows from the very start, these moments were truly unforgettable.

Keenan Wynn

This is me with Keenan Wynn during the shooting of 'The Ballonist' a "Littlest Hobo" episode shot in my parents home in Uxbridge Ontario in the Summer of 1980. It was directed by Allen Eastman (Alien) and Keenan enjoyed tormenting him a bit.  Keenan and I spent the breaks talking about movies like 'Dr. Strangelove' etc. it was a fun afternoon. Keenan had the shakes a bit and didn't want to sign autographs, he always had the continuity girl around to take poloroids and gave out pictures instead .

Bob Markle

Markle was a facinating guy. It was fun to be friends with Bob. there was always good conversation. He was always interesting.He wasn't exactly a snob but he did not suffer fools.He of course received notoriety for his erotic paintings.and he played in the Artists jazz Band. he once wrote an article on his favourite dish the Hot Hamburger Sandwich with French Fries and peas. This led to a discussion with me about seafood. He had never eaten seafood? Never eaten a Lobster? About 5 years later I get a phone call at a bar Gary, Gary. I just ate a lobster and you were right it's wonderful. How I met Markle 1965 Markle looked like   kind of a slob (he only wore blue jeans and navy sweatshirt and often rubber boots. But he   was brilliant, wonderful, witty   and   sort of a snob. Markle sort of held court at the Pilot. At 5 he would appear and sit in these funny little corners at the Pilot Tavern either side. The pilot had benches along each wall with tables for four and 2...
