Buddy:
John was a friend of my good friend Doug Brown–himself pals with John Geddes–and so, a decade ago, I was given the job of dropping a package off at John V’s apartment in Stratford. This I did. And noticed: on the bookshelf, a copy of Dante’s Inferno, cozied up to a book on the Leafs.
I met the man a few times after, and was always impressed, not least by the shock of long grey hair…he was born to play Prospero, again and again and again.
hope you’re well,
yr
H.
