West Windsor is "Olde
Sandwhiche Towne".
During the
prohibition era in the USA, Michigan was "dry" and Windsor, being in Canada, was "wet". There emerged rum
runner gangs. The Windsor Star's religion page editor Marty Gervais
published a respectable history of the rum runner days. At some
point Gervais spun off some of his research on Windsor's
prohibition era history and wrote a play about a pro-temperance priest.
Terry, as Arts Editor, went to his play and ran a review for it in The
Lance. I think Terry savaged his play. The original headline Terry
wanted for his review was something like "Crucifixion too good for
Gervais" but the editor Larry Deck thought maybe that might be going
too far."
Gervais read Terry's savage review and commented to
Martin Deck at his South Shore
bookstore "I don't think Terry quite got my play."
