lives in Calgary where his interests lie in
outdoor sports, art and photography.
One must make mention of the six grand-
children, all of whom are pursuing music in
varying degrees. Tiffany, Keri-Lynn and
young Carlisle Wilson study piano, flute,
trumpet and other orchestral instruments.
Kristen and Erica Stewart-Hay study piano
and are members of the Hekla Singers led by
Len and Karen Vopnfjord. Their little sister
Jocelyn is showing a remarkable precocity
for her three and one-half years.
This writing would not be complete with-
out mention of the marvellous trip to Iceland
in 1976 when Eric performed the Bloch
Cello Concerto with the Icelandic Sym-
phony and his mother Thelma played the
piano accompaniments for his Radio and
TV cello recitals. The tremendous hospi-
tality will never be forgotten. It was thrilling
to be hosted by one’s relatives, numbering
over forty whom one had never seen or
known existed. It was in the spring of the
year, March, when the blizzards were blind-

It is interesting to reflect on one’s life and
to realize just how much our pathways are
determined by those who have the most in-
fluence over us. Kerr’s mother brought her
violin here from Ireland, the Kemesteds
owned the first piano at Winnipeg Beach.
Bjorn Guttormson bought his first violin
when he was 18 years old. The love for
music which was instilled in their children is
being perpetuated through later generations.
Through God’s gift of music the Wilson
family has been truly Blessed!
