Hamilton -- Jeff
DICKINS, a longtime sportswriter at the Hamilton
Spectator, died suddenly at home on Saturday. He was 48.
During a 26-year that began in 1977, he covered the landmark
Hamilton court case involving the Luppino family in which the
courts recognized the existence of the Canadian Mafia.
In sports, he covered the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, and countless
Grey Cup games and Vanier Cup games. Spectator sports editor
Denis LEBLANC said "the determination he had on Day 1 never left
him."
Mr. DICKINS leaves his mother and father, two brothers and a
sister -- all of Toronto. A funeral is set for 1 p.m., tomorrow
at Timothy Eaton Church in Toronto. Canadian Press

LEBOURDAIS o@ca.on.york_county.toronto.globe_and_mail 2003-03-17 published
LEBOURDAIS,
Isabel,
age 93, passed away peacefully on March 14 after a very full
life. Mother to Isa, Eric, Julien and Eleanor, she also had 7
grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. A lifelong social activist,
she worked with the Co-Operative Commonwealth Federation in its
early days where she met her husband-to-be, writer D.M.
LEBOURDAIS
who died in 1964. A strong supporter of women's rights to abortion,
she was an honourary life member of Canadian Abortion Rights
Action League. Isabel was best known as the author of 'The Trial
of Steven Truscott', published in 1966. The book created a sensation
with her assertion that Truscott was innocent of the rape murder
for which he had been sentenced to hang in 1959. Throughout her
life, she never wavered from that belief. An accomplished canoeist,
many of her happiest times were spent on Georgian Bay where her
family will scatter her ashes this summer. Isabel's family extends
our sincerest appreciation to the wonderful staff at Lakeshore
Lodge Home for the Aged, Toronto - her home for the last 8 years.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Association
in Defence of the Wrongly Convicted, 85 King St. E., Suite 318,
Toronto M5C 1G3.
