letter received re Crad from Adrienne Vance

5/16/2014

Years ago (early 80s) I bought a copy of "Sex Slaves of the Astro Mutants" from Mr. Kilodney. He was standing in a doorway on Yonge Street. At the time I was in high school and it was the height of daring to approach him, let alone purchase anything. He, as is noted, was not exactly warm and friendly, not least of all to a high school student who's idea of walking on the wild side was a Saturday stroll down Yonge Street!

That was the only book of his that I bought although I remember seeing him on Bloor or on Yonge Street for years afterward.

Barely remembered him until I read his obit in the Globe & Mail. Surprisingly I still have the book! It is signed and in reasonably good condition.

Would you like to have it for your archive? I did not know him but I admired what he stood for, at least what I thought he stood for; staying true to oneself regardless of what others thought.

Kind regards,

Adrienne Vance, BSW, MSW
Gabriola Island, BC
