Humourist Ben Wicks would have been smiling at his family and friends as he saw them enjoying themselves at a reception at 91ÑÇÉ« on Sept. 10, the second anniversary of his death. The family of the late Wicks visited the University last Tuesday to view a stone dedicated to Wicks two years earlier in the Honour Court.  The stone was in recognition of the internationally-known writer and cartoonist''s donation of illustrations from his syndicated comic strips, books, manuscripts and correspondence to 91ÑÇÉ«. The collection is now housed in the National Archives in Ottawa.
At the dedication, President and CEO of the 91ÑÇÉ« Foundation Paul Marcus spoke of Wicks’ generosity to 91ÑÇÉ« and his dedication to literacy and the well-being of all children. Pictured here at the Honour Court are Wick’s wife Doreen (centre), son Vince and daughter Sue McLelland. Other family and friends were in attendance.
