Mahone Bay, N.S.-It seems that someone else was writing the script during my three-week “work-cation” in Nova Scotia.
Only an hour in my long ago home city of Halifax, I went down to St. Patrick’s Church on Brunswick Street, the church of my childhood. Reading the map posted out front to see see whether the church was even open to the public, a man named Alan Hemphill approached to ask if he could help. Turned out he was 20 minutes early for a meeting of the church Restoration Committee and gave Brian Thompson and myself a very welcome private tour.
