A memorial/wake reading for our dear friend, the late Gatineau writer and musician John Lavery (December 31, 1949 – May 8, 2011) will be held at the Manx Pub, 370 Elgin Street, on Sunday, May 29, from 4pm-6pm.
Hosted by David O'Meara, this informal gathering of friends, admirers, fans and otherwise well-wishers will feature readings of Lavery's own words as tribute by some of his friends
If you would like to say a few words about/for Lavery, or have the opportunity to read a short selection from one of his works, email rob mclennan at rob_mclennan@hotmail.com or Max Middle at maxmiddle@gmail.com.
For those who are interested, a limited supply of some of John Lavery's published works will be available for free distribution at the event. The family has suggested that those who wish may, in his memory, purchase and donate a children's book to the Campaign La lecture en cadeau (Reading as a gift) of the Quebec Literacy.
