Hi Shannah. All told I think that it was a very good article. We have tried for a long time to get media coverage like this for our efforts to regain public access to the records. It has been a long time coming but perhaps more people will become aware of the issue and voice their support for it. The newspaper article prompted a radio interview of myself on CFRB in Toronto and might hopefully boomerang into further information being sought by the media. It all helps.

An excellent article on our Census issue in this morning's Toronto Star. The print version includes a picture of Muriel and Senator Milne. It attributes to myself the title of "retired school teacher" which I will add to titles of Professor, Doctor, and Expert Genealogist that have all been attributed to me -- none of which are correct <}:-) http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?GXHC_gx_session_id_=73f25 a0c1c4130c3&pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=10220999 50551&call_page=TS_News&call_pageid=968332188492&call_pagepath=News/News &col=968793972154 Sun Jun 9 10:01:28 2002 http://www.thestar.com Gordon A.
