Retired BJ librarian Sandy Bee Lynn and retired BJ regional issues reporter and deputy Business editor Dave Scott
are enjoying the Shaw Festival at Niagara-on-the-Lake in Canada.
Sandy reports that they’ve seen the British musical “Me and My Girl,”
Irish playwright Brian Friel’s “Dancing at Lughnasa” and Bernard
Shaw’s “Saint Joan” (as in Joan of Arc).
The photo shows that they’re eating well, too.
Sandy was with husband Glenn Lynn. Dave was with wife Jane Gaab Scott.
They live in Copley. Jane’s sister, Katie Gaab-Shaw, is married to former BJ newsroom
editor Webb Shaw, no relation to Bernard Shaw. Webb retired in
2014 as Vice President of Editorial Resources at J. J. Keller & Associates
in Neenah, Wisconsin.
The Shaw Festival began in 1962 when Ontario playwright Brian
Doherty staged a “Salute to Shaw.”
In 2011 Paula Tucker and I went to Niagara-on-the-Lake for Shaw’s “My
Fair Lady.” It’s a quaint town, made for strolling and gawking. We stayed at
the Canterbury Inn (alluding, maybe, to Chaucer’s “Canterbury Tales”).
