STALLEY,
Francis "
Frank"
Palmer
Born: 29 May 1924 in Stratford, Ontario. Died: 04 March 2005
in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Frank was the only child of the late
Frank and Sarah Frances
(VAUGHAN)
STALLEY. He is survived by
Sarah (GRANT) his beloved wife of 39 years, his much loved daughter
Christian, her spouse Trevor
BOSMAN, and his cherished grand_son
Callum.
In his youth Frank distinguished himself as a promising concert
pianist, and won many awards and scholarships. He held two degrees
in music. After World War 2 interrupted his music career, he
began a 42-year career in broadcasting, launching his new career
at the local radio station in Stratford, Ontario. In the pre-television
years to follow, he occupied positions in radio as news editor,
reporter, script writer, program host, producer, and program
director in as far-flung locations as northern Ontario, New Mexico,
and California.
An avid proponent of public broadcasting, in 1953 Frank joined
the television staff of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
in Toronto and became involved in the production of many of the
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's early television programs.
He was one of those who regularly anchored The National television
news from 1954 to 1964. Among many other assignments during that
decade he also co-hosted the first womens interest program Open
House (which became Take 30); was the original host of Scan (the
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's own weekly public relations
program), and Music to See, one of the first Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation programs to feature classical music on television.
For diversion, Frank was a member of the original cast of the
weekly television comedy show Nightcap. For several years he
was the commercial announcer on the World Series Baseball Games.
In 1964 Frank left radio and television program production and
moved to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's head Office
in Ottawa as Executive Assistant to the Vice President of Regional
Broadcasting. In 1968 he was posted to Vancouver as Director
of Radio for British Columbia, and in 1972 moved to London, England
as the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Radio and Television
Program Representative. He considered this position to be the
highlight of his career, as it allowed him to live in and near
his spiritual homes of England, France and Italy.
Franks final posting was to Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1978, where
he took up the dual responsibilities of Resources Manager and
Maritime Regional Talent Relations Officer. He retired in 1987,
which enabled him to indulge his passion for travel. In his life
he visited Europe, Eastern Europe, Russia, Northern and southern
Africa, and most of North America. During his time in Halifax,
he served for several years as a member of the Board of Directors
of the Canadian Naval Memorial Trust (H.M.C.S. Sackville), and
as a member of the inaugural Board of Directors of Symphony Nova
Scotia. Frank was also an active member and strong supporter
of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Pensioners Association.
He was an Elder of the Presbyterian Church of St. David, and
an active member of the Worship and Music Committee.
Cremation has taken place. A memorial service will take place
at the Presbyterian Church of St. David, Grafton Street, Halifax
on Thursday, March 10th at 2: 00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations
may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society (Nova Scotia Division),
the Multiple Sclerosis Society (Atlantic Division), or a charity
of your choice.

Burly doctor remembered for the size of his heart
Last Letters: A series of stories about correspondence from soldiers
killed in the final days of the war
By Anthony
REINHART,
Thursday,
May 5, 2005, Page A18
Victory in Europe was already in sight by the time Easter Sunday
rolled around in 1945. But in the Pacific, a new horror made
its debut that day, aboard a British carrier called Indefatigable.
It was April 1, 1945, and Alan
VAUGHAN was right where he belonged
in the sick bay, tending to the men he called "my boys" --
when a Japanese plane, carrying a 250-kilogram bomb and a suicidal
pilot, came out of the clouds.
In a letter home to Toronto 14 months earlier, when he was still
in Europe and kamikaze had yet to enter the layman's lexicon,
the young doctor had reassured his mother that "we are amply
equipped to finish off any fools who might try to attack us from
the air."
But once the smoke cleared from the carrier's deck, 14 men lay
dead, including the big, burly 29-year-old physician known as
Doc VAUGHAN to the crew, and Beefy to his Friends.
"Apparently, there wasn't a mark on him," said his nephew and
namesake, Alan
MANCHEE of Toronto. "It was the concussion" of
the blast that killed his uncle.
Similarly, Indefatigable, the first British ship to come under
kamikaze attack, was relatively unscathed, with only a slight
dip in its armoured flight deck.
Soon enough, the dent was smoothed over with concrete, but Doc
VAUGHAN's death left a hole that took far longer to fill.
"I guess anyone who dies in combat has a certain amount of heroic
quality," said Mr.
MANCHEE, born nine years after his uncle's
death, and raised amid his lingering legend. "But with him, he
really seemed a larger-than-life character."
Before he enlisted in the Royal Canadian Navy Volunteer Reserve
in 1941, Alan
VAUGHAN had distinguished himself not only as a
medical student at the University of Toronto, but also as a gregarious
and impulsive young man, with an iconoclast streak.
"He was a bit of a maverick," Mr.
MANCHEE said, recalling tales
of Uncle Alan driving to Muskoka, where the family had an island
cottage, and swimming to it if there was no boat waiting for
him.
The aspiring doctor raised his university tuition by creating
and operating a summer camp for boys, on that same island.
Just before the war, while interning at Toronto's Hospital for
Sick
Children,
Dr.▼
VAUGHAN proposed to a woman as they rode in
a car along University Avenue. When she turned him down, "he
took the ring back and threw it out the window," his nephew said.
Overseas, similar antics and a deft bedside manner made an impression
on the sailors and airmen around him. That much is clear from
the vast collection of letters Mr.
MANCHEE, 50, has been leafing
through since his mother, the doctor's only sister, died last
autumn.
Many were written by shipmates after the Indefatigable's captain
put out a call for condolence letters from his 2,200-member crew,
and was flooded with about 300 replies.
In one, an air gunner recounted a jungle-training trip ashore
in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka,) for which Dr.
VAUGHAN volunteered
after an airman dropped out due to illness.
The letter-writer, surnamed Sage, was skeptical of an officer
who would stoop to such gruelling duty. "The Doc, as I studied
him, appeared comical and definitely out of place there," he
wrote, describing "a large, perspiring, but very cheerful character
with a soft Canadian drawl."
But when the Doc volunteered to cook and clean at the campsite,
and managed to match the airmen's pace as well as their constant
jibes, "this really gripped me," he wrote. "Doc's body may have
been big, but his heart was surely bigger."
Another shipmate of lower rank wrote of going through a mental
breakdown at sea, and that "after a few minutes with Doc
VAUGHAN,
I felt as though I were talking to my own brother."
These letters were forwarded to Dr.
VAUGHAN's family in Toronto,
who were deep in grief and exchanging their own poignant correspondence
as the wider world celebrated victory in the war in Europe.
The eldest sibling, Bryan
VAUGHAN, was in Toronto and unable
to serve overseas, but sister Charmian (Mr.
MANCHEE's mother)
and brother Denny, the youngest, were in different parts of Europe.
Denny, a musician who went on to renown as a bandleader, heard
the bad news first, then telegraphed home on April 14, 1945:
"Dearest Mom and Dad. Don't know what to say or do. All my sympathies
with you."
Charmian, in Italy working for the Red Cross, had heard only
that her brother had died, and for several agonizing days, didn't
know which one. On April 21, she sent this message home: "How
is Mum. If necessary will try to get home immediately. All my
love."
A week later, Bryan sent his sister the first of several dispatches
that spring and summer, with updates on how their parents were
coping.
"Sitting on that wide windowsill in the sun, Easter Sunday, you
were thinking of us, as we were thinking of all of you, who are
away from home," he wrote. "But much as each of us was in the
others' thoughts, little did we dream what good old Al was up
against."
Bryan went on to reveal his own burden, hinting at survivor's
guilt weighed down by his dead brother's unrealized potential:
"I'm almost ashamed to say it's been an inspiration," he wrote
of Alan's death. "Now I feel I have to do the job of two, and
what's more, have the power to do it. And I've pledged myself
to try."
As a young man, weaned on epic tales of his uncle's exploits,
Alan MANCHEE felt a similar obligation, and even tried to steer
himself toward medical school.
"It was not the right thing to do," said Mr.
MANCHEE, now a senior
communications adviser for Hydro One, "but he was such an important
person in my mother's life."
Such efforts have since given way to subtler forms of remembrance,
most notably in Muskoka, at the family retreat. There, decades
ago, Bryan
VAUGHAN climbed the tallest tree and hung one of Doc
VAUGHAN's jackets in it, and the ashes of several deceased family
members have since been placed around it.
"Even today up there," Mr.
MANCHEE said, "the children still
call it 'Uncle Alan's tree.' "
In conjunction with the Dominion Institute and its Memory Project,
we asked readers to submit the last letters of Canadians who
died in the final months of the Second World War. This week,
we have presented three of the soldiers' stories.

Dorothy THOMAS stormed city hall
One of reformer group elected to council in 1972
She started poop and scoop program in Toronto
By Catherine
DUNPHY,
Obituary
Writer
Once upon a time, when Toronto was younger and believed in itself
much, much more, a group of urban idealists stormed city hall.
They called themselves reformers and they got into the council
chamber by getting themselves elected. David
CROMBIE was their
leader, a man dubbed Toronto's "tiny perfect mayor" by the media
of the day, and great things were expected and sometimes even
delivered.
Now, these reformers were feisty and forward-thinking -- they
were people like the late Colin
VAUGHAN, an architect turned
activist, lawyers Dale
MARTIN and Karl
JAFFARY, renegade thinker
John SEWELL. And three of the newly minted aldermen -- for that
was the job title of councillor in those days -- were women.
But only two -- Anne
JOHNSTON and Dorothy
THOMAS -- made it through
the first term of office.
JOHNSTON, who retired from municipal
politics at the time of the last election, says that was only
because they learned to be tough and because they had each other.
"I met her December 4, 1972, the night we were all elected. There
was a spontaneous gathering of all the reformers at city hall
and I remember Dorothy was wearing a hat and she came up to me
and said: 'You and I are going to be Friends,'" she said.
They were a gang of citizen politicians who believed they were
going to create a livable, even lovable city, but
THOMAS was
right about at least one thing that night: she and
JOHNSTON were
Friends until May 9 this year, when
THOMAS died of cancer at
Dorothy MIKOS was the proud daughter of very proud Hungarians.
Her father, a tailor, and her mother, a talented seamstress,
came to Canada in the 1930s. Theirs was the classic immigrant
story, according to
THOMAS's only child, Nye
THOMAS, a lawyer
and policy director of the Ipperwash provincial inquiry. His
grandparents worked hard in Spadina Ave. sweatshops so their
children would never have to and were thrilled when their daughter
went to the University of Toronto.
THOMAS discovered journalism there -- it was the heyday of the
varsity press -- as well as Ralph
THOMAS, another journalist
who would become a well-known Canadian filmmaker. Now living
in California, he is best known here for Ticket To Heaven and
The
Terry
Fox Story. Dorothy
THOMAS left university before she
graduated to work at the Toronto Star, where she was an arts
reporter under the watch of the legendary entertainment editor
Nathan COHEN.
She was a stay-at-home mom living in a fourplex on Wineva Ave.
in the Beach when she joined up with a group of residents to
successfully fight the construction of the Scarborough Expressway,
which would have cut right through her neighbourhood.
THOMAS served two terms on Toronto council, from 1972 to 1976
and from 1981 to 1985, representing the old Ward 9 until ousted
by a tag team of Paul
CHRISTIE and Tom
JAKOBEK.
She had been
one of the founders of the City of Toronto's Person's Day Award
and had headed the Mayor's Task Force on the Status of Women.
"She was an excellent politician," said Barbara
CAPLAN, a former
Toronto city clerk. "She could build consensus across political
ties."
JOHNSTON said her friend initiated Toronto's poop and scoop program,
an achievement not among those noted on the condolence motion
passed by council 10 days after
THOMAS died, but not without
its significance.
"She owned the public works committee," said
JOHNSTON. "
She was
always the chair. She liked it because it was working on neighbour
stuff."
Attractive and articulate,
THOMAS was also blunt. "There was
no filter with her, ever," her son said.
She made headlines when she and Alderman Dale
MARTIN visited
Calgary in 1985 for the 48th annual convention of the Federation
of Canadian Municipalities. "The whole of downtown Calgary shows
an amazing lack of planning," she said. Ralph
KLEIN was the mayor
then and he summoned photographers to record him standing in
front of Calgary City Hall wearing boxing gloves and dissing
the smug politicians from the East.
THOMAS didn't back down. "It's very ugly in Calgary," she told
the Star. "It even makes (Metro planners) look good."
By then a single mom working punishing hours,
THOMAS still made
a point of being home every night to have dinner with her son.
When she quit politics the first time, it was to spend time with
Nye. When she left municipal politics for good, she moved to
Euclid Ave. and got a job heading and helping clean up the Metro
Licensing Commission, serving on the subsequent Toronto Licensing
Tribunal until 2003.
A spectacular cook and a stylish hostess, she was often asked
to donate her talents to fundraising events. A dinner party for
four catered by Dorothy
THOMAS was always a hot ticket at silent
and not-so-silent auctions for the New Democratic Party. She
was generous with her money as well as time, donating to 60 charities,
including the Canadian Marmot Foundation (because she thought
no one else would, her son said).
Her dinner table was a natural gathering place for Friends and
their families. For 10 years she met one Wednesday night every
other month with a group of powerful women such as June
CALLWOOD,
Doris ANDERSON and Sylvia
OSTRY, and for twice as long as that,
she was part of a poker player gang of Friends that included
fellow activist Ethel
TEITELBAUM, who often travelled with
THOMAS.
"She was a complicated woman who attacked a lot of people who
loved her. But we hung in there because she was loyal and wonderful
company -- witty, generous. I always thought she was beautiful,"
said TEITELBAUM.
Last fall they had travelled to Sicily, one of
THOMAS's must-see
destinations. "We had a ball," said
TEITELBAUM.
But THOMAS, who disliked doctors, was in pain and in fact had
been suffering for some time. When she was finally diagnosed
with cancer at Christmas, it was too late.
THOMAS was admitted
to Princess Margaret Hospital, where she had hundreds of visitors.
"They said they had never seen anything like it," said
CAPLAN,
who was soon sending out regular emails about
THOMAS to 125 recipients.
In recent years,
THOMAS had moved to Port Hope and had been immersed
in developing the Port Hope Ecology Garden.
THOMAS never got home again: she spent 17 weeks in hospital,
latterly at the Toronto Grace where she celebrated her 67th birthday
with Friends. She wasn't in pain, but she was unable to read
or watch much television, and every morning she would wake up
and be angry that she was still around. "She wanted to leave
the arena,"
CAPLAN said.
She insisted both Nye and his wife, Karen, go to China on a long-awaited
trip to bring home Mei Leigh, their adopted daughter and her
first grandchild. She died two days after they left Canada.
Her many Friends are gathering tonight at 7 p.m. at the Gladstone
Hotel for her memorial. There will be good food, wine, Friends
reuniting, laughter and only four speeches. Her son says it is
where and how she would have wanted it.
