DEGRACE,
Margaret
French (née
MacLAUCHLAN)
Wolfville
Passed away peacefully at her cottage at Sebim Beach, Villagedale,
Nova Scotia, on July 5, 2007. Peggy was born July 29, 1924 in
Kentville, Nova Scotia, the daughter of the late Roderick and
Marian (FRINK)
MacLAUCHLAN.
She spent her early years with her
family in Rothesay, New Brunswick, Wolfville and Yarmouth, Nova
Scotia. She served in the Royal Canadian Navy as a Wren (Women's
Royal Canadian Naval Service) from 1944 to 1945, working in Halifax,
and in 1945 married Robert F.
DEGRACE of Seattle, Washington.
They made their first home in Seattle and after several years
there, and
in Corvallis, Oregon, they moved back to Canada in
1952. Eventually they settled in Manor Park in Ottawa, where
they lived for thirty years.
Peggy was not only a busy community volunteer (sometimes referred
to as "Mrs. Altar Guild"), she was also a loving and devoted
mother and grandmother, and a caring friend to many. She took
up curling at the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Curling Club
in Ottawa and developed a love for this sport which stayed with
her all her life. She was interested in everything: politics,
sports, community events, a good game of cribbage, and, above
all, the well- being of family and Friends. In 1984 Peggy and
Bob moved to Wolfville, Nova Scotia where they renewed old Friendships
and developed many new ones. In Wolfville, Peggy was a member
of Saint_John's Anglican Church and worked faithfully for the church.
She helped with Meals on Wheels, served on the local hospital
auxiliary, and canvassed for many important charities.
Peggy loved her cottage at Sebim Beach, and nothing pleased her
more than a sunny day, a warm tide, and lots of children and
dogs.
She is survived by her sons John (Judy
SIMMS,)
Prince
George,
British Columbia, and Bill, Bermuda; daughters Barbara
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON
(Jim), Kingston, Ontario, Mary
KEIRSTEAD (Rod), Caledonia, Nova
Scotia, and Anne (Phillip

Nelson,
British
Columbia
her sister, Joan
TAPLEY,
Cockeysville,
Maryland; ten grandchildren
several nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband,
Bob, and her brother, Jim
MacLAUCHLAN.
A memorial service will be held Tuesday, July 10 at 1: 00 p.m.
at Saint_John's Anglican Church, Wolfville, Reverend Cathy-Lee
Cunningham officiating, assisted by Canon Russell Elliott. Funeral
arrangements are under the care and direction of H.C. Lindsay
Funeral Home, 568 Main Street, Wolfville (902) 542-2151. Online

After spending a wonderful month with family at his heart's home,
the island on Lake Nipissing, Mac died peacefully on August 19,
2007 at Markham-Stouffville Hospital at 90 years of age. Predeceased
by his beloved wives Laura
(BOYD) and Joan
(SANDIFORD,) he is

MAC was born in Toronto to George Alan
KEITH and Lydia
(AIKENHEAD.)
Early ventures into gymnastics resulted in the Canadian championships
(1941). Mac built three of his own homes, one in Etobicoke and
one in Peterborough; the first and best loved was a project started
in his teen years, his log cabin on the family island at "Nip".
He was a teacher at various high schools in Toronto, co-founder
with Joan of the Osteoporosis Society of Peterborough, an avid
builder and problem solver, and he pursued a long-time passion
for the environment, solar power and global awareness. Mac's
focus on family was seen in the pride with which he always spoke
of his children's and grandchildren's achievements. He will be
remembered by all who knew him as feisty, witty, and determined,
his life a quest for true understanding of and service to the
world around him. Cremation will be followed by a memorial service

MINETT,
E.
Everet
(February 23, 1918-september 5, 2007)
Letting go when he was at peace, feeling the love of four generations
of family. As a boy and a young man, Everet exhibited extraordinary
gifts. He was a brilliant student. He attended University of
Toronto Schools where he excelled in classics, languages, science,
and music. He later studied math, physics, and chemistry at University
of Toronto (Trinity College) and subsequently did graduate work
in physics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. At age 8,
Everet assumed a large measure of family leadership when his
father died. Everet discovered his perfect love at age 15 when
he saw Alice Caroline
PARKER as an angel in a Christmas pageant
at St. George's Church in Guelph, Ontario. They were married
in 1941 and raised a family of 5 children as they traveled with
extended stays in Norwalk, Connecticut, Oak Ridge, Tennessee,
Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, Rochester, New York, and Toronto, Ontario,
where Alice currently lives. But Everet's and Alice's lifelong
geographical passion was Cognashene, Georgian Bay. Along with
his wife and young children, Everet fashioned a magical summer
paradise. The 40's, 50', 60's, and 70's were exciting times for
a gifted scientist in the business world. Everet played significant
roles in the Manhattan Project (40's), in the development of
RCA's ENIAC and Remington-Rand's UNIVAC computer
systems (50's), in senior positions at Xerox (60's), and as director
of University of Toronto's UTLAS (70's). In addition, during
the 70's and 80's Everet and wife, Alice, worked side by side
at their own import and distribution venture in Toronto, The
Canadian Tumbler Company. Everet loved us all and was an inspirational
mentor. He taught us about fulcrums and levers, and that anything
was possible. His children will never forget that inspiration:
Peggy WILLARD and her husband, Joe; Charles

Nina; Doug

Robert STACEY, 58: Curator
He was 'the most authoritative student of Canadian art history'
By Noreen SHANAHAN,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S10
As an independent Canadian art history scholar with a mind that
never shut off, Robert
STACEY was an archivist's nightmare. He'd
badger them with obscure questions, demand accuracy and behave
like some kind of academic detective who ferreted out truths.
"Bob STACEY saved our ass," said writer Christopher Moore, referring
to his collaboration on The Illustrated History of Canada in
the mid-1980s. "Here was someone who knew every image of the
Canadian past, knew what it signified and how to use it, and
knew where to secure prints and rights at blinding speed."
Mr. STACEY worked on art history projects, books, documentaries,
gallery shows and academic study projects from one end of Canada
to the other. "But it barely jelled into a career," said Mr. Moore.
"He was always simultaneously a freelance art curator and the
most authoritative student of Canadian art history anyone knew."
Bob STACEY was born with an arts legacy. The
son of Harold
STACEY,
a renowned Toronto silversmith, and Margaret
STACEY, the third
daughter of artist C.W.
JEFFERYS, he grew up in a home where
art was an everyday topic. After all, his father's work had been
acquired by the National Gallery, while his grandfather's art
was found in the Art Gallery of Ontario, the War Museum, the
Library and Archives of Canada and many private collections.
According to Mr.
STACEY's partner, Maggie
KEITH, he enjoyed a
childhood in which an appreciation for the arts was considered
to be a perfectly normal part of life. "That's what normal people
did. Who you would question, instead, would be people who weren't
involved in the arts; what did they do with themselves all day?"
In 1966, while a Grade 11 student at Northview Heights Collegiate
in North York, Bob wrote, directed and acted in an absurdist
play called A Dream of Unreason that was performed at Hart House
Theatre in Toronto. Two years later, he graduated from high school
and enrolled at the University of Toronto. While an undergraduate,
he ran into some unusual academic challenges. Instead of providing
essays on assigned topics, he often annoyed his professors by
pursuing independent lines of scholarly research. One of his
early obsessions was moving the Canadian art world away from
the notion that the Group of Seven was born as a reaction to
something staid and European. For instance, he positioned C.W.
Jefferys as an artist at the centre of an important group who
painted the Canadian landscape a good 15 years before members
of the Group of Seven had ever taken a walk in the woods.
In 1976, Mr.
STACEY curated "C.W. Jefferys, 1869-1951" at the
Agnes Etherington Gallery in Kingston. Two years later, he curated
a poster-art exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario, followed
by the publication of The Canadian Poster Book: 100 Years of
the Poster in Canada. According to Ms.
KEITH, he was once again
compelled to debunk a popular notion of art history by proving
that some of the Group of Seven had earned their living as commercial
artists, and that tattered broadsheet advertising could be works
of art.
"Bob was one of the most thorough, questioning researchers-writers
I've ever met," said Jim Burrant, who answered many of his calls
at the Library and Archives Canada. "He was always looking for
answers, so you tended to feel bombarded with phone calls and
wonderfully handwritten messages about various points. I learned
so much working with Bob and trying to answer his questions."
An example of the depth of his research was evident in 1997,
when he was working on the book Massanoga: The Art of Bon Echo
and discovered that nobody had ever photographed the pictographs
on Mazinaw Rock. He hired a photographer and crossed the ice
one frigid March day, cameras in tow. "It probably cost him as
much as he earned on the book," said Mr. Burrant.
Mr. STACEY published a variety of other books and curated a number
of successful exhibitions on Canadian art history during the
1970s and 1980s. At the same time, his reputation as a researcher
grew. He consistently juggled a fistful of scholarly projects:
citizens fighting to save historical murals; publishers seeking
historical images for their book covers; art auction houses looking
to authenticate paintings.
"When someone in Canada has a problem, a challenge, or an opportunity
involving images of Canada's history, as often as not a call
will reach Robert
STACEY at the Archives of Canadian Art and
Design in an old industrial building on the edge of downtown
Toronto," Mr. Moore wrote in The Beaver.
Mr. STACEY was frustrated by what he called laziness by historians,
art directors and writers who used illustration in a very cavalier
manner. "They act as if everything were in the public domain
and don't credit the artist or the source - partly because things
get swiped so often, so one sees the same images, and the same
misinformation about them, perpetuated again and again," he said
in The Beaver.
From 1991 to 1992, Mr.
STACEY became the first Fellow at the
National Gallery of Canada with work focusing on 20th century
Canadian art, including preparing a monograph on the graphic
art and design work of J.E.H. MacDonald of the Group of Seven.
An impressive series of publications and exhibitions followed,
including "Varley: A Celebration" (1997); North by South: The
Art of Peleg Franklin Brownell (1998); "Qu'Appelle: Tale of Two
Valleys" (1998) and a group exhibition and publication called
The Group of Seven in Western Canada (2002).
Mr. STACEY was adjunct curator at the McMichael Gallery in Kleinburg,
Ontario, in 2002 but, according to Ms.
KEITH, it was a heartbreaking
experience. She described the gallery's rigid and conservative
approach to exhibitions, and the fact that then-Ontario premier
Mike Harris had passed legislation limiting what could be collected.
The McMichael board, she said, didn't like contemporary works
in travelling exhibitions.
"For a long time, Bob had badly wanted an adjunct curatorship
at a public gallery so that he could advocate for his projects
more effectively than he could as an outsider… unfortunately,
the appointment came too late for him."
Mr. STACEY was an alcoholic and within a few months of accepting
this position he suffered a seizure. He continued working, but
was forced to slow down during his last few years.
Robert STACEY was born July 2, 1949, in North York, Ontario He
died of liver failure on November 4, 2007, in Toronto. He was
58. He is survived by his partner, Maggie
KEITH, and his mother,
Margaret STACEY. He also leaves his sister Clara.
