Husband Donald recruited as a neurologist from USA toUBC 1981, was 'The Belzberg Family Professor of Medicine' at UBC. The family funded the chair for at least 5 years,maybe 10. Sam was a wonderful host. We were invited to some functions at their Vancouver Home and we met 'Lil'. She was beautiful and gracious.
Thank you for staying with the search. These women’s stories evoke memories of my mother, of that same generation. She wrote so many similar autograph-book entries while growing up in small-town Saskatchewan in the 1920s. Mom died in 2021, at age 101. She would have loved your post today. I so wish we could read and chuckle over it together. xo.
Oh, wow. That's amazing, thanks, Susan. My partner's family is from Calgary - Lil and Sid were good friends of my brother-in-law's parents -- this is getting very intricate! -- as I've just learned. Appreciate this, thanks a lot. B
