Michael Wert is a writer and researcher with a passion for the stories of the Blue Puttees. Who were they? What were they like? How did the war affect them?
If you are related to a member of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment who served in World War I, then perhaps you could help Michael tell those important, human stories.
Michael plans a television documentary hoping that in truth, we will always remember. When The Boys Came Home: The Blue Puttees After the Great War. What got him started? He found a copy of the inaugural 1920 Blue Puttees reunion program.
Today, Michael is in Corner Brook and hopes you will come out and meet him, perhaps share a family story.

WAM Feb 02-03 Liner Notes The McGrath Family - "Make the Circle Wide"
We all know how those parties go ... a few drinks, a plate of food, then out come the guitars, whistles, drums, and before you know it ... party.
Liner Notes today features a party that drew family - those are well-known, too.
But family from all over the world! The McGrath Family has members on four continents and many of them descended on Dublin last year.
Two of the McGraths are O'Byrnes - noted traditional musicians Fergus O'Byrne and his son, Fergus Brown-O'Byrne.
One thing lead to another, and the family went into a recording studio. The result is a mix of Irish favourites and new tunes from Newfoundland, Australia and America released as a cd called Make The Circle Wide.

WAM Feb 02-03 Dominic Wrizile
I received an email the other day from a young man hoping to promote his new collection of poetry, The Epitome of Life.
Dominic Wrizile is the young man, and in his note he told me he'd come to Newfoundland from Uganda. I thought, now there would me an interesting tale for you to hear.
Little did I realize.
Dominic has an almost-unbelievable story to tell, about survival, hope lost and won again, and how he got out of East Africa to publish a collection of poetry in Newfoundland.
I began our conversation by asking him where he is from and how he got here.

You've heard Kelly Hill on the Weekend Arts Magazine many times in the past, bringing us surveys focussed on arts and cultural activities in Canada: how we support them, who attends them, or how much we spend on them.
Well this week, Kelly and his company, Hill Strategies, released a new study on how arts and cultural activities affect your health and outlook. The report is called The Arts and Individual Well-Being in Canada.
I called Kelly Hill earlier this week and asked him just what was he looking at?

WAM Feb 02-03 Greg Locke
Greg Locke's profile as a photographer lists international publication and awards for his prolific industrial, commercial, environmental and editorial work.
Greg is also a "fine" photographer, and his portraits and cultural work are well known.
But it has been fifteen years since Greg Locke exhibited any of his photographs. That changed this week, however, as Greg opened a show last night at Hava Java in downtown St. John's.
The NSO Portraits is a series that captures musicians. Some of the photographs are whimsical, some are humourous, some are candid ... all are fascinating.
I spoke with Greg yesterday before the exhibit opened and began by asking him, why wait fifteen years between shows?
