Of course, you know I was only twelve when I attended this conference! I have a folder of notes, including the following (partial) sketch of Anthony Adams:
“He looks a bit like a harassed grocer, with an atmosphere rather redolent of stuffy warmth, slight oiliness, and a tinge of spiciness. The image is mostly physical – a round belly, wrapped in a vest, with maroon suspenders showing at his shoulders, and sleeves
held up with sleeve bands.”
I scanned the programme – the cover was yellow, in case you care to know. Please note the quotations in the footnotes. Margaret Laurence’s name is spelled wrong,
I see.

Subject: question re 1979 conference at Carleton
Hi—for a research project I am doing, I've been trying to find a copy of the program for the 1979 Ottawa Conference at Carleton, Learning to Write. So far, no luck, so I would like to know if any of you old hands have a copy.
Thanks,
Louise Phelps
