Going out on a limb

I'm guessing you're actually Douglas Century... If so, Hi from Colin MacWhirter (once, very long ago, of Chinook Park). Welcome to Wikipedia! Pinkville 22:59, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Colin,

Here's a few links that can be used as references for biographical and career information:

For reference to the 2003 Edgar Award finalist, here's a link

Ha! Thanks (I'll add them [with appr. formatting] to the article). I was just posting this:

I knew you'd written on Toni Morrison, heard something about you writing lyrics with a musician (?!) and recently found out about your Barney Ross book, so I gave your name a whirl in the Wikipedia whirling-thing and here you are! I've sometimes noted how odd it is that I should know you and your brothers in completely different contexts (I worked with Michael when he was dealing with R Murray Schafer's Greatest Show in Peterborough back in 1987-1988). I haven't really kept in touch with anyone from Calgary, though I have regained contact with Shari Clough (now a Philosophy prof in Oregon), and I have noticed that a striking number of people from our era are up to very interesting things... As for Wikipedia (or anything else), feel free to contact me on my own talk page or via the email link posted on that page. All the best, Colin/Pinkville

Small world, indeed. You lived up Churchill Drive, no? I can't recall exactly. Weren't we also on soccer teams together in Chinook Park? it's great to be in touch. I don't want to keep fiddling with my own bio- it does seem a little narcisistic, but it might as well be accurate and according to form. I put a few reference links in there, but not sure I did it 100% right. Yes, I wrote a kids book about Toni Morrison, have done some song-writing and now movie writing, but no need to add all that. thanks againDjcentury 03:00, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Chardie Rd, actually, right at the end. I remember your house, looking on the park, on C?? Crescent. Yes, soccer! Remember Pat McLean?! Yeah, great to be in touch. Don't worry about Morrison, song-writing and movies - someone will probably add those some day anyway - whether you like it or not! Pinkville 03:25, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
