JOY TELLS ALL

LAST YEAR, Sentinel High
School teacher Barry Rec-
tor was honored interna-
tionally with the title of
“The Best Whistler in the
World.”’

This past weekend he was in-
vited to Louisberg, North
Carolina, to be the special guest
performer at the National
Whistler Convention. Accom-
panied by pianist Katie Drysdale,
Barry gave a two-hour concert
and received several standing ova-
tions.

‘The good news is that you can
see and hear this whistling wonder
ia concert on Sunday, May 31, at
2:30 p.m. at West Van Secondary
School’s theatre on Mathers.

It'll be a fundraiser for Canuck
Place, the desperately-needed
hospice for children. And there’s
a reason for the choice of fund-
raiser.

A few years back, Barry and his

JOAN! TAYLOR

wife, Merle, lost their little five-
year-old daughter, Heidi, to
cancer. While Heidi was in 3-B at
Children’s Hospital, her dad used
to come up to be with her and
entertain all the little patients with
their favorite tunes.

If one of these children passed
away, Barry would be there at the
funeral, whistling the child’s
favorite music.

He's not only a talented artist,

he’s quite a remarkable human
being.

Tickets to the benefit concert
are only $8 (36 for students and
seniors) and are available at the
three West Vancouver high
schools and Tom Lee Music.
You'll not only support a worthy
charity, you’ll get to see and hear
a real champion...

There were all sorts of champi-
ons at last Saturday's Return of
the Firefighter’s Ball at the Hotel
Vancouver where 750 black-tie
and uniformed guests packed the
ballroom for the $75-a-plate
fundraiser for Vancouver General
Hospital’s burn unit.

Moneyman Murray Pezim, B.C.
Lions owner and honorary fire
chief, was instrumental in the
sell-out. He has the greatest ad-
miration for the smoke-eaters and
assists wherever and whenever he
can.

The lovely young blonde on The
Pez’s arm was Michelle Schagle,
who looked angelic in short, full,
white satin from Heatherington’s
in Park Royal and was perfectly
accented by her long, drop
diamond-and-pearl earrings.
She’s in great shape, too. She was
one of the runners in last Sun-
day’s Vancouver International
Marathon.

The North Shore was repre-
sented well at the do. Murray’s
genial right-hand man, Harvey
Gold, was there along with Prime
Sports’ Frank Gigiiotti and his
cute Dorothy, while Harvey's
seat-mate was the slimly sequinn-
ed Lisa Masse.

Lisa’s husband, Nick, was up to
Sonora on Harry Moll’s annual
fishing trip.

Recent arrival from California,
Bonnie Johnson, stock promoter
and close friend of TV’s Robin
Leach, lit up the room in brilliant

Thursdays. The chic Dusty’s date
was iall Shane Barber, a West
Vancouver undercover cop.

Some other charming young
women who Icoked simply sensa-
tional were former beauty queens
Dariena Rosen and Judy Lowrie.
They reported that Laura Leard,
the former Miss B.C. Lions and
Miss Grey Cup, is back in town.

Laura was married a couple of
years ago to a lieutenant in the
U.S. Navy and lives in San Diego.
Her husband has recently been
posted overseas so Laura is back
here taking courses at UBC.

Big Chief of the Vancouver Fire
Department Don Pamplin and his
wife, Carroll, were all smiles.
Donaid, a Park Royal Towers res-
ident, retires from the VFD on
Sept. | after 38 years on the job.
The Pez called Donald ‘‘one of
the classiest guys I know.’”

Firefighters president Dave Mit-
chell and his wife, Maureen, were
at the headtable along with NDP
MLA Mike Farnsworth, Ald. Don
Bellamy and his Ness and band
president Alfi De Biasio and his
wife, Shirley.

The award-winning 50-member
VFD band was a great addition
to the festivities and NW’'s Rick
Honey couldn’t have been a better
emcee! ;

B.C. Lions head coach Bob
O'’Bilovitch was on hand with new
quarterback Danny Barrett, coach
Soe Pao Pao, the Lions’ front
four and the cheerleaders.

Firefighter Ball organizers Bob
Hollier and Dan McClelland even
surprised themselves with the suc-
cess of the evening. This was the
first Firefighter’s Ball in 17 years.

It will definitely become an annual
event...

Ambleside’s talented Joani
Taylor, who’s been on stage with
such luminaries as Stevie Wonder,
Little Richard and Taj Mahal and
who has long been the number
one session singer in Vancouver, is
about to launch her brand new

lan Sinclair at the

compact disc called Absolutely
Joani Taylor.

After a hiatus of seven years to
devote to songwriting and to her
young family, she’s recorded 15
songs with backup by super
pianist Ron Johnston and friends.

The CD is going to be on music
score shelves any second now.
Wait for it! Cheers and Happy
Mother’s Day!
