my 2010 hula dog montreal calendar is available....

to buy online if you don't live in Montreal.   If you live in Montreal,  I printed some locally +  have a few left, for 10 bucks each (the cost of printing.)   The ones online cost a bit more (15$) because they're printed individually by Lulu, the online printing/distributing company.

 

If you're heading to the Laurentians, around the Mount-Tremblant area, drop by the Ateliers du Village

anytime to check out the fabulous furniture, sculpture + art but for a 5-7, this Saturday. Cheers.

Another lovely tribute for Henry Lehmann...

The Henry I best knew was my best friend throughout childhood. His home was "up the hill" from my home on w. 216th Place in Matteson, IL, and it was also my second home, as I spent much time with him and his mother, Virgina, father Henry Sr., sister Jean, and #1 dog Matt (short for Matthew). We collected butterflies,moths, caterpillers and cocoons together. We collected Mazon Creek plant fossils together. We waded in Turtle Pond together, catching painted and Blanding's turtles and getting our clothes all mucked up. We also often visited the fields of Matteson and Richton Park looking for a wide variety of frogs, toads and snakes. And we visited the Chicago zoos and the back (work)rooms of the Field Museum together. I was two years older, but we pals with a common interest in whatever Mother Nature could teach us. Two of his pen-and-ink-and-watercolor sketches (completed when he was 10-12) are my fondest possessions. So, his becoming an artist and beloved teacher were a perfect fit. He was not the Henry Lehmann many of you knew, but my memories of him from the 1950s will be with me until my turn comes.   from Owen Wavrinek

A childhood friend of Henry's...

sent this lovely remembrance...

Henry grew up in one of the south suburbs of Chicago, reared by a loving father and free-spirit mother, both now deceased. His "question authority" attitude was one of the guidelights for his friends in high school, and brought him to sanctuary in Quebec. When I last saw him at a memorial for his mother, he himself lit up when talking about beloved Wendy and children. He said his falling in love with Wendy, and in turn with each of the children, were completely unpredicted wonders in his life. His memory and example will be fondly cherished.  J. Longley
