Nearly 100 trees and bushes, including red maple, elm, ash, willow, poplar and serviceberry were placed in the western and northern sections of the park by an enthusiastic group, which shrugged off the occasional drizzle (which was perfect for the trees, however). The planting supervisors arrived at 8 a.m. to set up the registration and re- freshment tables, run through a practice planting and assign tasks for the day. Planters began to turn up at 9 a.m. and by 9:30 the exercise was in full swing.

To his left is a smoking fireplace and fastened to the three walls surrounding him are floor- to-ceiling memorabilia -- 240 of them. You could spend hours making a visual tour of this painting. There are slippers, boots and skates strewn on the floor. Books are piled everywhere. There is a bust of Shakes- peare,a fishing net, a flintlock pistol, plus two stuffed lynx heads, colourful Indian collectables and riding items too numerous to mention. And what is most surprising, there are 26 paintings lavishly framed in every available space.

October 9, 1992 - Glebe Report - 31 OBSERVATION POST The music of Harry Freedman can't stop writing. You've got to express yourself. Influences? Well, Duke El- lington, Bela Bart6k, Claude Debussy, John Weinzweig was a wonderful influence. He taught me how to learn. He never imposed his style of writing on anybody. Almost all of his pupils are very strong in orchestration. You won't find any of his pupils with a style similar to another's. For instance, you can see a lot of the people who went over to study with Messiaen, Stockhausen or Boulez -- there's something about their music that's so similar. Messiaen was at Tanglewood. We had to sit and listen to his music every afternoon .f rom 3:00 on in a hot, BY COURTNEY BOND stuffy little room, while Harry Freedman grew up on the rest of the student body the prairies.
