Stormin' Norman was also Canada's ambassador to Israel at one time and before that Chief of Staff/Cabinet Secretary to Bill Bennett.
Like me, he's a Montreal and OB boy.

He was also the publisher of the Jerusalem Post, the largest English-language newspaper from Israel.

Phil McAvity: Everything you said in this post is either completely or partially wrong, so where do you come up with this stuff?

What info do you have that contradicts the (true to my knowledge) info that. . . .

The Sunkist family has a p/t estate at Landsend.
Barbara Streisand/ Kevin Costner has a p/t place on S. Spring.
And Burton Cummings lives f/t time in Brentwood Bay.

(As for the error I made in naming the man who lives next door to John Travolta's p/t estate near the airport - I already admitted to that in a previous post.)

I'll give you my source - if you'll give me yours.

Property taxes: total of $60,144.

And I thought mine were too high.

^ Strange that all those houses are on the water. I thought there'd be at least a couple in Rockland or the Uplands that made the top 20.

Shirley Temple lived at the Empress for a while after hearing rumours of a kidnapping plot back in California. Her goons got the room directly across from hers & kept their door blocked wide open the entire time.

Did she only drink non-alcoholic beverages during her stay?

I just can't believe you didn't know.

Lassie was here in the 1940's - they shot 'Lassie Come Home (Part Two)' out near Sooke. Not sure if he stayed at the Empress. Probably not. Most likely the Crystal Court Motel.

I'm just waiting for someone to mention Joe Easingwood.

Let's face it--despite what the Government tells us, BC is kinda dull.

Such an exhilerating picture.

Isn't that Gordie Tupper - back row, sixth from the left.
He looks quite different with a moustache.

[Holden West]

^No, that's Frank Stanford.
