ONE OF the special guests
at the commissioning cere-
monies for Canada’s newest
warship, HMCS Vancouver
at Canada Harbour Place
last Monday afternoon, was
tall, dark and handsome
Graham Clarke of Harbour
Ferries fleet fame.

- JOY TELLS ALI.

Graham has had some ups and
downs this year with the BC Rail
strike.

He'd just arranged a four-hour
cruise up Howe Sound when the
strike was settled. Probably puta
few more silver strands in his very
dark wavy hair...

It was just 2 couple of weeks.
back that Graham’s charming
wife, Elise, surprised him by
picking him up after work in a
bus loaded with friends that in-
cluded David and Janet Fraser,
Klaus and Mary Priebe, Van-
couver Airport's David Emerson
and his wife Teresa, and the
soon-to-be-named consul for |

Tunisia, Lyle Knott and his wife
Susan,

Graham had been on the bus
for a return trip to Haybour Fer-
ries where the guests boarded
Graham’s personal yacht, the
Sea-quel, to enjoy birthday cake
and the grand finale of the Sym-
phony of Fire fireworks spec-
tacular.

One guest who couldn't be there
was Prime Minister Kim Camp-
bell, who sent the seafaring
Graham a note that included a
reminder that salt air certainly
helps to preserve things, especially

. old timers celebrating their first

“hal? century...

Others at Monday's commis-
sioning ceremony, besides the
guests of honor, were restaurant
head ard city councillor Don
Bellamy, Mr. and Mrs. Mike
Welland, Prof. Peter Pearse,
Allan and Barbara Campney,
Scott Paper’s CEO Bob Stewart,
Pacific Rim Institute of Tourism's
Malcolm Ashford, marine artist

COCKTAILS

Joha Horton, the editor of The
Province Brian Butters, and
fireworks fellow Ray Greenwood
along with another 1,200 guests.

The official launching was
followed by a giant reception in
the Harbourview Room of the
Vancouver Trade and Convention
Centre (VTCC) where gifts be-
tween the city and the frigate’s
commander, Capt. Brian Mat-
thews, took place...

I was also fortunate to be a
guest aboard Lyalf and Kay Bell’s
luxury yacht The Four Bells,
which was one of the floatilla of
yachts welcoming the new ship
and her crew of some 250 sailors
and helicopter pilots on the
previous Thursday.

Despite the fact that it was a
beautifully sunny afternoon at the
Royal Vancouver Yacht Club, it
was very choppy out on the boun-
ding main and I was really grate-
ful to try out Kay's ‘Sea Legs,’ a
marvellous remedy for seasickness
that you can, apparently, only buy
in England.

Among the guests on board
were Joan Reynolds, wife of
sports telecaster Ted Reynolds,
The Sun’s Mac Perry and veteran
boating reporter and editor Dea

Tysrell...

As expected, the Phantom still
attracts huge, loyal audiences.

It was a completely sold-out
house that greeted Live Enter-
tainment’s Garth Drubinsky last
Wednesday at the Queen Elizabeth
Theatre for the opening night of
the box-office hit, The Phantom
of the’ Opera.

Pve now seen Phantom five
times and always before with Jeff
Hyslop as the hideously deformed
and love-lorn protagonist.

Wednesday was the first per-
formance of a 74% week run in
Vancouver and the first time I've
seen someone else in the title role.

an impressive Phantom.

He’s 6° 2”’ and has'a voice to
match.

His co-star is Toronto’s petite
Glenda Baikin, whose soaring,
lyric soprano voice is another ad-
ded delight to this production.

Another event that I'm glad I
didn’t miss was the sumptuous
after-party which was hosted by
that dashing general manager of
the Pan Pacific Hotel, John
Williams.
