Looking back
by Harold Rosenberg
The small red brick house at 51 West-
minster Ave N. is a familiar sight to all who
frequent the commercial establishments
along the street. Recently, it was home to
the Totem Teas and Spices tea room. But
few people know that, in 1936, another tea
room called Grape Vine, operated by
Yvonne Thornton, daughter of McGill’s
Dean of Dentistry, was at the same location.
Another little-known fact is that her
daughter, Madeleine Louise Helen Thorn-
ton, became an accomplished actress, best
known for her role as the Mother Superior in
the 1960s television show The Flying Nun.
Madeleine was born in Montreal in
1922. She had her first stage role at age four Madeleine Sherwood in Newfoundland, 2009. Photo: Pam Snow - The Pilot

RBC MoWest Charity Golf Tournament a great success!
The 5th annual RBC MoWest Charity
Golf Tournament was a great success again
this year. Played on a rainless afternoon in
late September, over 80 golfers of various
talent levels enjoyed a fun day of golf and
camaraderie with friends and neighbours.
This year’s event was a little different
from previous years as, thanks to Scott
MacKenzie, RBC became the title sponsor
of the tournament. Many of the local branch
employees also came out as both players
and volunteers helping out on the course.
The increased contribution of RBC and
all of the other sponsors listed below meant
that this year was a record year for fund
raising as we reached $12,670. The monies
will be shared by the MW Children’s Li-
brary, Little Red Playhouse/Coco’s Place,
Meals-on-Wheels as well as Elizabeth Bal-
lantyne and Edinburgh elementary schools.
As for the important question of who
won, the foursome of Ryan Emery, John

controversial tie breaking formula, man-
