This was the year that a couple of hundred people gathered at William
and Murray to await the appearance of Mary's ghost. Alas she didn't
come. But her story became the launching ground for a book by Alan
Hustak called "The Ghost of Griffintown: The True Story of the Murder
of Mary Gallagher".
This was also the year that we mourn the passing of Annie Wilson. She
was a great example of the love that many people have about their
years in Griffintown.
There weren't any public screenings or broadcasts of the documentary
in 2005. Maybe in 2006 there will be a few. Anybody interested in
organizing one?
There was one screening for a class at Vanier College. A girl who came
from a small town in Greece was smiling throughout the viewing. She
said it reminded her so much of home.
If you are looking for gift ideas, remember the book and video. Call
or visit the website to obtain the order form.
